First thing in the morning... Anuj Prasad

Quickly make tea for my wife and an ayurvedic concoction of awala and haldi for myself, and take-off for a 50 minute run-walk schedule to the park.

Fielding calls from potential clients concerning design projects...

In the initial days of my profession, the idea was to catch a client wherever possible. As we evolved, the clients started flowing. Thereafter I built up a professional team. So, now I mostly field prospective calls only after they have been accosted by my team.

Trying to fit everything in your small bag...

There’s always more to eat than one can chew. So, the best practice is to take it as it comes.

Running to client meetings...

Clients are not bothered about your time, so, it is up to you to utilise the waiting time and intervals, on phone or laptop.

Taking a moment for your coffee break...

These are the morning moments. Order your favourite coffee. Half filled large cup, prolonged drinking, deliberately!

Coordinating pickup and delivery from wholesalers and design showrooms...

In the early days, it used to be me doing all the running around, going to the print press, modellers, pre-press and client’s factories. Now, there is a team to do all that.

Sleep..

There are spells when I loose sleep. There are spells when I dream of projects. But largely, I like to enter the deep slumber for 6-7 hours in the night. I give a lot of importance to sleep, as I consider it as Ctrl + Alt + Del after a hectic day.
