Continued from PART 1>>>>>>>>>>
Now what?........ was the question and no one had an answer,,,
We have to meet them up and then know what is in his mind ..lamented Ram
Can we tell em dat it is not possible? asked Guru the impossible
Tell whom what? Dream homes? Ram went mad by the easy solution that Guru was offering..
No Ram.. well leave it.. can I call Mandan Kumar and get an appointment to get screwed?
Ram had a big yawn really big one for the big bore that Mandar kumar ,the brand manager of Dream homes was,,, to win the battle was tough, to sustain the fortress seemed impossible…
Hey Guru ,,, said Ram, a bit mellowed down… let us make some alternative plans…
But what is his objection this time? Do you know that before making alternative plans? Guru spilled his frustration with no mercy...
Well let us list some reasons ....say 5 reasons that he can possibly have and have answers for that…
Ohh ya ya ya… Guru said with sarcasm… number 1. rang nahim hai… kuch maza nahim aya… now solution.. take some asian paints dealer and paint his ass,,,
Huh… said Ram…...while Guru again jumped in….. I will quit advertising soon but I swear before that I will make a clean up….
Quit and do what?
Run some brothel or a discotheque and make decent money…
Huh… U’r a sicko… said Ram…
And you are a saint… the pope Mr Mandan Kumar is waiting to declare you one… you just have to be there….laughed Guru,…
Mandan Kumar as usual looked stupid, at his office, where brands and brands where there everywhere, scattered bits of catalogues and pamphlets of all the real estate guys and builders in town flew here and there. It all looked the same for Guru, and even for Ram and that was the reason why they had given him the copy which was different and could cut through the clutter like a sharp piece of metal…
The brands guardian and the two ad agency guys who were the baby sitters, sat there for a while, with no one speaking up… Mandan was deeply into the copies that he had rejected, analyzing the stuff over and over again….
So what is new sir? asked Guru, even when Ram was queuing the right words in his mind to kick start the conversation.
New? frowned Mandan, and then keeping his thick glasses on his dirty table continued… as I told it is not striking…it is like… what to say…
Is it the color,,,, if yes… the green that we have is the correct match for the persona of our brand, and we had arrived at an agreement about that if you remember… Said Ram…
It is not the colour… said Mandan… see these kids and the dogs and the pool…
You don’t want them? Asked Guru
Well they need be there… but the kids could be better…can they?
Ahhhh.. said Ram… better in what sense…? You mean cuter?
Mandan stood up and walked to the window and stood there for some 25 seconds, staring into the road that he could see from his 7 th floor office…
Silence,,,,,
Saalaaa.. said Guru… what drama Ram? what is he some bloody devdas?
Mandan turned and produced a pic from no where as if he was a magician…
How is this kid? He asked with a lot of delight brimming…
Ram kept his strategic silence, and in such situations nothing can replace experience…
Hahahahhahahaa… the room laughed at Guru’s laughter…….. he almost fell from his chair and still he laughed,…
Ram pinched his executive but to no avail… Guru went on in full blast as Ram saw Mandan getting rose, pink and then red, as blood rushed into his wherever and anger fumed from his holes…
You call this kid cute..? hahahhahaha ......Guru had no stopping….
Ram snatched the pic in desperation to save the situation…
Ohh ya nice..... he uttered, quite unconvincingly….. you want this kid to model for the ad… its cool…. I mean its.. well,,,,
Mandan came and sat in his chair and waited for a while for the laughing gas to be quelled…
Where is this kid now? Said Ram when Mandan raised his right hand to indicate silence…
You know who is this? Mandan asked Guru
Ram kept his head down.. he wanted to run away from the room, if possible jump from the seventh floor than face the calamity that was imminent....
No.. Guru whispered awkwardly
It is my grand son you looser and now will you be kind enough to leave? Said Mandan with a grin…
Actually the kid is cute.. wow… said Guru with a stupid beam as Ram banged his head on the table…I knew that it is your grand son….actually it is...
I said get out… shouted Mandan as he jumped up from his chair and as smoke flew in the room…
Guru was alone… Ram was not to be seen anywhere,,,,,
Tail piece :- Ram and Guru lost the account for sure but got and handled better ones... How better ? Wait for more in this space...
