I have this unyielding desire to sell soaps. And for that matter shampoos. And not just any soap and shampoo. It has to be either P & G or Unilever.

Lifebuoy, anyone? Nawww

But hey wait, isn’t lifebuoy Unilever too?

At the end of the day lifebuoy or lux are all soaps after all. Why then do I desire to sell something so inane? What kind of freaking society is this that finds selling soaps glamourous? Why is it prestigious to work in a blue chip company and immature to “do your own thing”?

[Rant and rave because P &G didn't accept you. If they did, you would've sold soaps for the rest of your life happily ever after]

Speaking on a serious note, I think that providing society quality products that it needs at low prices is a noble service. Look at hindustan Lever in India, what services they have rendered for the villages. Actually thats what i would have LOVED to have done. Make these greedy multinationals good corporate citizens of the world. And precisely thats why I chose External Relations at P & G because I wanted to work on their wonderful programs – building schools in Muzaffarabad for the earthquake victims, the READ foundations and donations of medical equipment for neonates.

Sadly, it didn’t work out.

InshAllah, God has other plans for me.
