Past two weeks were as interesting as they could get..My tv production team did in our dept what had not been done in 20 years of our teacher's service.. This is exactly what he told us when he was firing us for bringing camera late from schedule.. A little prelude..
We decided to make a documentary on handloom weaving industry in Kerela (a friend's idea). We were to return the dept camera in one day because its the only one used for outdoor shoots and then our friend got sick. We were delayed and everyone hated us but all was resolved.. For the interview we found a very senior officer who was ready to speak to us but surprise surprise when we came around he was already attending his retirement party.. Our panelist backed out on us on last moment, and last moment means time was 3.00 pm, and he backed at 3.00 pm, the other dean of commerce was already here, so in last moment we had to find an expert who could speak. Commerce dept HOD was helpful and convinced Economics dept HOD to comply. When we reached the studio, the current went off and we have no generator. Within a jiffy we set everything in the lawns. AHHM..its not over, the studio camera costs more than five lakh rupees and is not supposed to even be touched. We actually commited a crime by taking it to lawn. Chairman again fired us. He said we had guts that we pull stuff like this. We told him thats the only thing that could be done. Once pacified, he was appriciative of good decision making. So they say, alls well that ends well....
