CALLING ASIANS IN LONDON.

Post by denesh »

Hey all,

If there's anyone on the forum from London, may be we can meet up for a glassi around town.

We're always keen on meeting a bit of our own blood but it doesn't happen very often as we're all part of 2%.
Mail me.

As for everyone else, i'm sure our paths will cross at some point in the future, until then keep it fresh! :wink:

Hey man,

Haven't seen you around or may be I have by face??
Yeah, as Dalbir said we were doing a bit of work at Wieden's.
We were at BBH early this year, we did a long freelance stint but then the bandar's said they need seniors because of all that new business they've picked up. They said we'll be back but who knows ...
Let's hook up man.

Everyone on the forum thinks we're so lucky living in London but little do they know it's tough out here. The minute I walk out my front door i'm being taxed while the queen puts on her prada 'kuchi'. And the competition is lethal to say the least. We want to get away from this expensive capital and everyone else wants a visa, what's going on man!

Enough moaning for now, i love it really.
Let me know if you fancy a drink or two so we can moan together.

Cool.
