The Other Side. (IFFK, Day 4)

After the tiring third day, we were ready for the rest of the busy days. Fourth day was fairly easy. As usual we reported at 8am. Started making guest lists and arranged cab and other facilities for the guests; we were hanging out for a bit.

After distributing the lunch coupon for the day, we were making a list of guests for dinner. Director of the film Kathaa@8 checked in that afternoon. We had a great little talk about film making for a bit. She is such a visionary about the films now. Her idea of film making is fairly different at many aspects. After distributing the ID cards and festival kit, I went out to have some tea with my buddies.

When I got back after a short break, I got to know that another guest has checked in. Mr Pinaki Chatterjee from Mumbai checked in that afternoon. It was time for the diner. Dinner was at Keys hotel. After distributing the dinner invitations, we arranged the cabs for the needed guests.

We made a list of guests and the timeline for the next day, and went to Central residency. As usual after picking up my friends we went to Tagore for the dinner. The food they provided were not that good. But my tongue never tasted it. Hunger was overpowering. Day four was special in a unique way. I got to meet some new people. It always feel good to meet and mingle with people all around.

Then it was time for the ever favorite night ride. A lion share of IFFK memories are these night rides. Late night city roaming always feels good. Empty roads, wind on my face, my motorcycle, my people it made some good memories to cherish for the rest of my life. Funny comments, making fun of each other, mid way bike swap etc are irreplaceable.

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.
