The Other Side. (IFFK, Day 7)

Seventh day started just as normal. I went to hotel on the same usual time. After the morning hustle, we were waiting for our lunch. By the time Mr Mathew Jenif checked out from the hotel. We had a fruitful talk about films and Malayalam film industry. He was kind enough to give us some chocolates. We enjoyed every bit of the chocolate. Chocolates will make your day better.

After making the arrangements for lunch, I went to help my friends out there at Horizon Hotel. Horizon will be very busy on the lunch time. They need the maximum assistance. Helping out the guests and making them feel as comfortable as their town is a very big task. We have to put our maximum efficiency.

After helping my friends, I came back to terrace hotel. Again, I got a call from Judy Gladstone from a unknown number. She told me that her phone got damaged and the volunteers out there at theatres hesitated to provide help. Apparently, they told her that there are no Apple service centres open now and as suspected she called us. I tried calling some of my buddies who work at phone shops. Me and Judy went to m friend’s shop at ‘Thakaraparambu’ and fixed her phone for a cheap price. Judy got very happy and gifted me Scarf the next day. It made my day.

Taking care of a person, which outside of our country is very cheerful. Making other people understand about our culture is very joyful. As usual, we went for having dinner at Tagore Theatre. After that eventful day, I went home with a happy heart.

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. Peppa, A teacher by profession, now enjoying his retired life and recently took a promotion as grand father. A Professional Photography Hobbyist, Nikon lover, an expert in almost every genre of photography, music lover (especially vintage songs), a tech enthusiast and a fully equipped tech adviser, a huge nature lover, a person with a big heart, and mainly, the backbone of our family. Peppa and his photos play a major part in my life. Sometimes I wonder, What would have happened if he never gifted me that Canon Po...

The Other Side. (IFFK, Day 2)

I woke up with full energy. I was ready to crush the day. I went to the hotel with positivity. Went to the spot and took charge. Two more guests have checked in last night. Total number became four. I called up both of our drivers and told them report on time.

IFFK Experience.

I got to know about the idea of volunteering for IFFK from my cousin Goutham. He was a part of 22 nd IFFK. Due to some personal issues, I was unable to participate in the 22 nd and 23 rd film festival. I thoroughly decided that I will join them on the 24 th edition. And god’s grace, it happened. The process started with sending resume to the IFFK mail and attending the interview. I did fairly good on the interview. I was appointed for hotel duty. My mind was filled with questions and excitement. At one side, I was excited as heck to work with Goutham,Vaishak, and Amal, my close friends. I only knew them as my best buddies, but never as my colleagues. That experience was damn good. IFFK seemed like a big puzzle at first. I solved it step-by-step. I was aware of that volunteers are not allowed to watch films. I accepted the fact and made my decision. And it was a fine one. I am a sucker for meeting new people and mingling with total strangers. That aspe...
