Back stage Challenges in the Skit : Hum Project implement kar chuke sanam…
First of all, there was very little time to prepare…
And there were very few people to work with.
The condition of the person working on the story was even worse. This is because there were many changes in the songs selected for the script. Songs have to be selected before finalizing the script. This is because performers needs some time to practice for the dance. Most of us were not great dancer, because of which we had to change some songs to match our capabilities. It put added pressure on Ismile bhai and Jahangir they end up having no time to practice… But we took this risk knowing their last performance.
The condition of the performers was also not great. Some of us have delivery deadlines to meet. So after the practice session these people stay late to complete their primary responsibilities. Others who were relatively free took up the challenge to coordinate and train people.
This skit was hugely depended on Audio. We had to collect so many songs and edit them to suits our requirement. If the music system would mot have worked, as happened in the last party, we could not have done even a single scene.
The basic theme of the skit was to present the different stages of life with the help of MUSIC & DANCE. A single step missed by performer (dancer) could have easily turned down the whole skit. We had a challenge to dance so that people can enjoy, act so as to make people laugh, and achieving both without being stupid.
Of the other challenge, the one was to meet the high expectation after the superb performance by Ismile bhai in he last party. To meet that expectation we took the bollywood way. But this made our task little more difficult. Because now we require 10+ people to perform… with absolutely no time and no resource to work with, this looked like an impossible task. That was the time when some new face in GE showed great interest in performing with us. We also got good support from the Anchors for the event.
I don’t know how well did we perform, but I know one thing I enjoyed a lot to be part of the skit. And I can say he same for all those were part of this skit…

Would Prashant had survived had he been not from north east???

But the same cant be said for Talent Hunt show.
Take the recent example form Indian Idol.
Emon and Chang signed beautifully l but still did not get enough votes so as to survive in the competition where as Prashant, a relatively bad singer, did not come even in the bottom 3 ever.
How can one explain this.. Very simple... Things like Indian idol are big event for people in Shilong but not in the City of Joy. People from small cities follow these participants religiously. A Mumbaiker or Delhiets has many other Idol, form tendulkars to rahul gandhis, in close vicinity to follow. So they don’t feel emotionally motivated to vote for a young singer from their city participating in Talent Hunt.
So Talent shows are actually providing a level playing field... don’t you think so???
Btw my fav is still there... and do I vote for him???

Dabral Sir and Chak de...

I still remember the words MR Dabral told me during that ride
" Dekh logon ko 2 tarah se unite kiya ja sakta hain.
1. Sab logon ko bahut enjoy karo sath main. Roz party karwao.
2. Sab logon ko sath main suffer karwao.
Jab tak kisi ko extream condition tak nahi le jate tab tak wo log unite nahi honge.
par pahele tarike main ek problem hain. Pahel tarike main chote chote groups ban jate hain. Dusare tarike main 40-50 logon ka ek bada group banaya ja sakta hai. Aur isliye hi seniors hum logon ki ragging lete hain "
I really felt that he was honestly sharing his views with me. Though his views sound opposite to the popular belief, but i felt it to be very true.
An army training is one such example. Normal boys (Cadets) belonging to different parts of India, who doesn’t know each other, becomes formidable army where fellow solider comes before one selves. During initial days they curse and use all sorts for words for their trainer. As they start sharing their sufferings, they become a team.
This fact is very well used be Kabir Khan (SRK in ChakDe India). He realized that the first thing that gals should learn is to play as a team, without which individual brilliance does not matter (fortunately or unfortunately that was also missing).
He gave a very tough time to all gals.. He used foul language. He made fun of their inabilities. In the night all the gals were tired and full of anger. They decided against their coach and signed an application requesting Hockey federation to change the coach.
And this exactly what Kabir khan wanted. He wants gals to stand for one cause, even for the wrong one.
One can learn skills. One can formulate strategies. But to learn team skills is very difficult. Surely one can play team games, can attained seminars, but these things helps when the goal is not big enough as in the case of corporate project. But for the bigger goals, the only way is the way through SUFFERING.

ICC - Indian Citizen Coalition
The way things are going since last 10 days, it seems that we are going to have elections very soon.
I would like to request people of India to vote for a national party this time so that we can have a single party govt.
The problem that we faced in last 10 years due to coalition govt must end asap.
Form the experience we had in last 10 years, it is clear that small parties plays spoil sports on development works esp. reforms.
Some people may feel that the regional parties stand for the right cause. But the end result is that govt end up doing nothing because of differences in the allied parties.
Regional parties follow there ideology more than anything. This is because they will loose the support if they make compromise on there Ideology. As only few people follow them these parties can’t take the risk to loose support even of small sect of people.
Due to all this coalition govt end up working only on COMMON MINIMUM PROGRAM.
Regional parties work well in their respective regions as they are directly answerable to people of those regions. They are answerable for the development of the region. But when it comes to Central govt they play dirty politics in order to get political mileage.
Parties which have national presence works with a vision. Not because they have better leaders than others but because of the fact that they will loose the election if they don’t work for the development of the nation. There prime objective is not to expand to other regions as they already have good presence through-out the country.
Same is true for regional parties in their respective states.
But on national level they tend to stick to idealistic approach which is far from pragmatic approach.
So it would be good for India to have a single party govt next time.
So please vote for National parties next time you vote (provided you vote) even you are not completely in sync with that party ideology.
Lets form a coalition amongst ourselves. Our Common Minimum Program will be to vote for a National Party next time.

Harry Potter joining INFY
Year 2010:
It will take him more than an hour to reach the campus form his 2 star hotel.
His face would be red due to Indian summer. But as he would enter the campus, he will feel relived to see lush green campus.
Our harry does not know anythign about programming. So he feel very uncomfortable listening to people using the words "string, loop, parent, class, inherit" in very unusual way.
Ignoring this He will go and meet one HR so that he could complete joining formality. On being asked for his name, he will say "Hari Putra". He wants some Indian name for himself.
He will start learning programming.
But he would not be supposed to use these skills outside the Infosys campus.
One day, a virus, send by Ministry Of software, would attack his on his roommates system. Hari will use his networking skills to kill it.
Because of this, he would be found guilty and Ministry of Software would like to expel Hari. At this difficult time, Narayana Murthy, Old mentor of Infosys, will come to rescue him.
Ministry of Software will not like this. They would like to take control of Infosys. So they will plant an HR in Infosys.
The HR will make it sure that Hari Putra is not allocated to any project.
He will stay on bench for 6 months. (Poor Daniel)Frustrated, Hari might try to change the company, but no company would be ready to buy out his 2 year bond with Infosys. (What a pity) In the end, a day will come when he will start writing blogs like this. May be about Krissh… :)
