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 Powershot S3IS and decided to never teach me any of the basics? He taught me those confusing things with absolute ease and every thing is still engraved in my heart and it helps me in every aspect of photography and Journalism. He taught me to love nature and helped me to find a new perspective to see and capture. 

Peppa,
On tough times, when everything seemed to be falling apart, you were there to help and pulled us right through. You helped me like no one ever did. 
You taught me the importance of family. You gave me my two loving brothers. You and appa made my life the happiest, and continues to do the same. 

Having a place to go, is Home, having someone to love, is Family, and you being the head of it, is a Blessing!
As I mentioned in the start, these words won't be enough to convey my happiness! 
And finally, A very happy B'day Peppa! 

Love,
Chaathu.

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...
