 Pauravi, our Creative Director, talks fondly of life at Pigtail Pundits. Start my computer. "Hey Disha, where's the music?" She is ever-ready to switch the music system on! (We can't put our act together without background music!) Then I start checking my mail (Unni gets up at 6.30 a.m to send us mails; we better start our day reading them ;-)! The mailbox has a brief for a new site. Wiggy has already started tickling his grey cells! Once that happens, he wants immediate action and drives me up the wall with his hyperactivity. Enter Unni : "Good morning, guys! Hey...did you all read the mail?" (Unni doesn't waste even a minute!) "Yes Unni, We have already started thinking about the proposition." He leaves us to our own and goes down in his den (That's what we call the basement where Unni, Rajesh and Ranajit sit) It's 12 noon and Wiggy and I are still trying to crack the proposition. We are almost there but there is something lacking... Just then Unni comes up and asks us about our progress. "Lets go for a walk and brainstorm", he says. Three of us go out and walk in the garden for a while, then sit under a bamboo tree and think!" A few seconds and we get Enlightened! One after the other the ideas flow and...Eureka! Finally we have a gem! Wiggy comes up with a great proposition in just a few minutes (hold the hyperactive grey cells responsible!) I start my design sketches and it just takes an hour or two to transfer it on to the screen! Unni has discreetly had a look at the final product. Never know when he does that. Now it's time to show it to Rajesh...But it's not the time for Rajesh to see it! We wait for him to finish the task he is at, we browse through whole of the afternoon newspaper, listen to some rock numbers Ranajit is playing, crack a joke or two with Unni, stare at the six goldfish near his desk... "Hmmm...tell me...where have you saved it?" Yipeeee!!! Rajesh is finally ready to look at the webpage! He does so in his own relaxed manner and gives us a signal of "hmmm" which means it's good; which also means that we can go home! Wiggy and I pack our stuff. "Bye, Unni...I'm leaving. See you tomorrow" Unni replies with his patent farewell "It was lovely having you here!" Thanks Unni, for making us all feel that way; for making us want to come back to Pigtail Pundits day after day!
