Every techie dreams of an onsite trip in his career.
So does his mother, father, brother,grandmother,uncle and a dozen
more people connected to him.
Once the news breaks out the techie has to deal with two sets of preparations.
The official and the domestic.
The official ones are boring , visas , work permits, documents.... yaaawnnn....
The interesting ones are the domestic preparations.
The preparations can be compared to a bollywood movie being produced.
Starring - the parents, relatives and friends of the techie.
The phases -
THE SCRIPTWRITING AND COSTUME DESIGNING --
The scriptwriting does not consist of dialogues or lyrics, all it consists of are lists . .......so u have a list for the fooditems , the clothes,the travelling kits , the contact numbers of relatives and finally a list to check if the lists for all these things is completed....!!!
Costume designing is a time consuming activity ... the dialogue conversatoin with the salesman of an upmarket apparel brand would be --
"Bhaisaab humara ladka ABC infotech company ki taraf se germany ke Munich sehar me jaa raha hai ... wahan thand bohot hoti hai ... jara aise kapde dikhaiye jo wahan ki thand ke layak ho ..... " so now even the salesman knows the travel plan and company profile of the poor techie..!!
Even the Inner wear is bought with great detail .... so u have thermal inner wear, casual inner wear and even party inner wear...!! )
THE MARKETING AND PUBLICITY ---
The marketing and publicity is handled by the mothers and grandmothers....
They have a strong LAN(Ladies Area Network) via which the broadcast of the news starts in the morning with the doodhwala .... and then spreads like wild fire untill the watchman , the local dhobi , the maid- kamala bai are all up to date with the details of the city ,the country and the client for which the techie will be working for.....!!
ART DIRECTION ---
This is handled mainly by the elders - the Dadis and naanis ....
The common lines are --
"Hay ram .... videsh jaa raha hai .... kahan rahega ... kya khayega .... kaise nahayega ...bimar ho gaya toh .. ? mera toh jee bohot ghabra rha hai ....!!!!
THE EDITING --
The baggage always turns out to be more then the allowed weight in the airlines .
Thus starts the editing ....
The editing takes place a day before the premiere ..... the final products to be included in the journey are decided and the ones not required are cut......!!
THE PREMIERE --
The premiere is totally star studded attended by the whos who of the family .....
The venue -- airport....
Even the techie is not aware about the outcome and is quite nervous ....
He sits in the corner awaiting the release of his movie ...... !!!!!
So all the the techies .. remember you are the superstar of this movie so do everything you can to make the movie a superhit .... for the sake of producer, director and all the cast and crew ...!!!!
