The day we went to press

Today we had to have everything finished ready for tomorrow, when the magazine gets sent off ready for processing and printing. By the end of the evening, the flat plan on the wall was completely full, and the magazine was looking pretty awesome. I didn’t leave the office until gone nine as we had so much to do before we left.

I finished off my story from yesterday, did an advertorial jewellery piece and helped the girls with a fashion piece. The rush was quite a buzz and the phones in the office were ringing all day.

We went for lunch in the cafeteria, I ate dal, chapatti, rice and a coconut curry which was amazing. Today I had a sweet aswell which looked like a prawn wonton but that tasted of coconut and baklava.

After so much typing, lots of phoning, lots of snacking and about a million coffee runs we got it done. There’s only a few things that need to be tweaked tomorrow, but aside from that, it’s pretty much in the bag.

I apologise for the lack of inventive-ness today but I really have been a very busy lady and haven’t had time for my usual observations of Indian life.

Right now I’m about to do some more work on my case study, no rest for the wicked, eh? I’m over half way through and I’ll have it done ready for tomorrow which is awesome. Can’t wait to get that weight off my shoulders aswell, getting everything done for the magazine in time has been stressful enough. Always fun though. Still, there hasn’t been a dull moment so far!
