27 years as a Copywriter | CCO/ECD | Professor (EPBA) IIM, Indore

Yesterday, left a laptop in a room – connected to Wi-Fi, plugged in – with a blank Word document open.

This morning, checked on it.

The Word document was still blank. 

Not a single word on it.

So much for people who say all you need to be a Copywriter is a laptop and a Wi-Fi connection.

“Paisa kitna kamaa lete ho as a copywriter?”


“Paise hi kamaata hoon. Rupaiyon tak baat abhi pahunchi nahin.”



#justsaying #copywriting #salaries #truth

Once upon a time, there was a donkey.

It visited LinkedIn, every day. 

Every single day. 

And barked.

Yes, barked. 

Like Bow Wow.

Not a Bray. 

But a Bow Wow. 

LIKE A LOUD BOW WOW. 

It barked first thing in the morning. 

It barked last thing at night.

It did this for 30 days. 

Then 60. 

Then 120 days passed. 

On the 121st day, another donkey saw our donkey barking. 

And asked why it was doing so. 

“A personal branding expert told me 4 months ago that if I barked consistently and authentically over a period of time, then people would believe I’m a top dog copywriter,” said our donkey to the other donkey. 

“Well, if it was about being authentic, you could just have brayed,” said the other donkey to our donkey.

There is a sweet-ass moral somewhere in this story.

#justsaying #copywriting #personalbranding #writing

P.S.: Say “Bow Wow” in the comments, if you agree.
If you don't, well, you can bray, if you wish to.

Every time the work gets approved, the client returns.

Like Betaal. 

Hanging upside down.
Smiling.
Saying, “Vikram, agar tumne is prashn ka uttar diya…”

The creative answers.
The changes are made.

Thud.
Betaal is back on the tree.
With ‘one small change.’

And Vikram has to head back to carry Betaal on his shoulders. 

This isn’t a revision cycle.
It’s Indian mythology.

Moral:
Never answer the question.
But the creative always does.

The airport book is a cunning, slightly smug deity, sitting on shelves in Mumbai, Delhi, or Dubai, wedged between Haldiram’s namkeen, overpriced sunglasses, and travel pillows that smell faintly of coconut oil and resignation. 

Titles like Do Epic Shit, Atomic Habits, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and Kintsugi glint under fluorescent lights, their spines flexing like tiny bodybuilders in slow motion, silently judging every human who dares to pick them up without actually reading.

And then the humans arrive.

Uncle Sharma, kurta crisp, shoes polished, chai in hand, clutches Atomic Habits. He never reads it. He flips it open randomly for effect, pretends to study bullet points, then nods gravely as if he has unlocked the secrets of the universe. Atomic Habits whispers: “Step one: Look wise. Step two: Open at random. Step three: Make someone else jealous. Step four: Continue doing nothing.”

Aunty Meena, sari tucked, tote bag bulging with snacks, carries Do Epic Shit under her arm like a small, shiny Ganesha idol. Her toddler gnaws on it. She glances at the cover, murmurs “Yeh zaroor mere zindagi badal dega,” and then strategically positions it in front of her face whenever someone she wants to impress walks by. The book sighs. “Arre yaar, wasted potential, maximum show-off.”

Vikram Bhai, stockbroker, iced latte in one hand, selfie stick in the other, proudly holds The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. He doesn’t read it. He doesn’t plan to. He only holds it while photographing himself on the moving walkway. The book flaps closed at the exact moment the camera clicks. The latte spills. The selfie is ruined. Not Giving a F*ck whispers: “Perfect. Human illusion failed. Beauty in chaos.”

Riya, backpack stuffed with Kintsugi, textbooks, and a half-eaten vada pav, opens the book once. She studies the page… for five seconds… then gets distracted by the flight attendant handing out water. The book slides on the tray table, muttering: “Broken things… humans… attention span… ugh. No respect for art.”

The airport books notice patterns. Humans never read them. They only hold them, parade them like peacocks, angle them just so for selfies, occasionally tap them to show 'serious contemplation.' 

Travelers nod at each other: “Oh, she’s reading Kintsugi. Deep. Very profound.” The books roll their spines, mutter under covers: “Deep? She’s thinking about her Instagram caption. Epic.”

Airport books are not for reading. They are props, ornaments, tiny tyrants ruling terminals. They prank, confuse, humiliate, and judge humans for sport.

The airport does not belong to humans. It belongs to them – these silent, sentient, judgmental overlords who exist solely to make humans look intellectual without ever actually reading.

JobLeads telling me to stop browsing LinkedIn jobs on weekends, whilst one is browsing LinkedIn – the very ad they've paid LinkedIn to display on LinkedIn – is the most LinkedIn thing I’ve seen all day. Respect the audacity. Nolan would be proud of this Inception.

Content, without purpose, is discontent. 

So, it's good to see a seasoned storyteller/content specialist like Snigdha Ghosh Roy shepherd an online Content Strategy Workshop that guides professionals on how to create content – mindfully, purposefully, and strategically. 

Brought to you by MyndStories, and Smitha Murthy (who does everything with heart, and clarity of purpose.) And of course, this is a much needed boost for women leading creative workshops. 

Attend it to escape the trite content world of LinkedIn inhabited by tips, tricks, and templates that are bandied like manna from heaven by self proclaimed experts, but serve no purpose in the real world. Because there's a difference between content from pros, and cons who pitch a tent. Ok, shots fired 🚀 🚀 🚀

If you are looking for someone who can magically get lakhs of impressions overnight, I am not the right person. However, if you are looking for a writer who will do her best to give words to your ideas, aspirations, and stories, read on. 

Hi, I am Medha Raj Jyotishi,  a Content Writer and Social Media Manager. I write because I believe it is a powerful tool to express yourself and change the world in whatever minuscule way possible. I write because I know the power it holds and I have personally experienced the change it can bring, not just to your business, but your life. 

When I started writing for others 2 years back, I didn't know the impact it could have on their business and profile. But here's what I realized over time: 

Anything done with passion gets the best results. Anything done with awareness brings experience. While I would not call myself an expert, I have worked with various clients in these two years to have a decent knowledge of what works best on social media.I definitely believe in my ability to assist you in achieving your business objectives through content creation and distribution.

So, if you are a founder, entrepreneur, or someone looking to set the right foot in the world of social media, turn your dead account into a portfolio that works for you every time your target audience visits it, or simply expand your reach and build a community on LinkedIn, let's connect to discuss further. 

Here are 3 ways I can help you with your business:

✅Buiild an impactful social meida presence
✅Write blogs and articles that help you build authority
✅Create a content strategy and calendar that boosts your reach and engagement


There's no better way to know if we are the right fit to work together than to have a quick conversation. Head to my profile and book a call today or reach out to me with your requirements @medharajjyotishi.

If it works well, we'll probably be working for years to come. If it doesn't, I am sure we will learn years' worth of wisdom from the conversation. Looking forward!
