The Other Side. (IFFK, Day 1)

The first day at IFFK duty was very raw. I was appointed for hotel duty at Hotel Terrace, Thampanoor. We were a team of two. Though we had a small training session at Tagore Theatre the day before, we never had any idea regarding our job. The hotel people gave us a table. It was the hospitality desk of IFFK. Number of guests in our hotel was very less compared to the big names in the city. Most of the guests we had in our hotel were related with film marketing.

Our coordinator has arranged two cabs for our hotel. It was to arrange the travel needs of the guests. We only had two guests on the first day. It was just a start of boring day. The reporting time for volunteers was at 8am. Both of us spent the whole day roaming around the hotel lobby, sitting around and checking our phones time to time. We sat like 2 stones for the whole freaking day. No productivity at all. The other person in my team was already pissed off and she asked for theatre duty the next day.

Then came the lunch hour. The team leads gave us the lunch coupon for the guests. Lunch for the guests was arranged at Horizon hotel. Giving the coupon and arranging their transport to the Horizon hotel was first job of the day. We did it with accuracy (you may think it’s easy to arrange cab for two guests. You got it wrong. It was ‘really’ easy)

The last job of the day was to arrange transport for the guest to the dinner. Dinner was arranged at Keys hotel. As the Keys was only walking distance, the guests told us not to arrange cab. I accompanied them to the keys hotel.

First day ended with lots of boring hours. Dinner for the volunteers was at Tagore theatre. I went there, met up with my friends and had fun. The ride back home was amazing. Motorcycle, friends, empty road, That made me happy.

ജീവിതം മനുഷ്യൻ നക്കി.

ഒരു നായ എന്തിനാണ് നിങ്ങളെ കടിക്കുന്നതെന്ന് ഓർത്തിട്ടുണ്ടോ ? എന്തിനാണ് നിങ്ങൾ ആ ജീവിയെ ക്രൂരതയുടെ പ്രതീകമായി കാണുന്നത്? ഞാനൊന്നു ചോദിച്ചോട്ടെ, നിങ്ങൾ സ്വന്തം വീടുകളിൽ സ്വതന്ത്രമായി, സ്വസ്ഥമായി വസിക്കുമ്പോൾ, ആരെങ്കിലും രണ്ടുപേർ വന്ന് വെള്ളമടിച്ചു അലമ്പിയാൽ നിങ്ങളുടെ അവസ്ഥ എന്തായിരിക്കും? അപ്പോൾ നിങ്ങൾ ഉന്നയിക്കാൻ പോകുന്ന പോയിൻറ് എന്താണെന്ന് എനിക്കറിയാം. മനുഷ്യരുടെ സ്വകാര്യത.

Peppa.

May 29th of 2020 marked the 60th bday of my dearest peppa, Dr T Neelakantan. The pillar of our family. The word (Peppa is the shortform of Periyappa, father's elder brother) I know, these penny amount of words won't be just enough to communicate my happiness and respect towards him. Though a humble attempt to do so. My love for motorcycles and vehicles in general, came from my father. But, my interest in photography and cameras came from Peppa.
