People often tell me that its so nice not to do the same things over and over again in my kind of job. Well they may not be totally wrong. Especially considering that I left a nice stable, well paying career in IT and jumped into the 'creative' realm of the television industry. Though one always dwells on the grass being greener in other pastures we have our own ups and downs too. But that's not what I'm getting down to here.
              We are the people behind the camera. The people who toil day and night with blood, sweat and tears (well sweat anyway!) in the battles of TRPs, deadlines and creative changes to bring you all those shows on television which you keep flicking with the malevolent remote! We are termed as the unethical bastions of TVdom whose only mission in life is to suck the viewer into the cortex of that Idiot box! Umm..so how far are we from the truth? Let's leave it at that..
                Not to delve into media ethics, let me just talk about some funny incidents that seem to happen with all of us when we are part of a 'Crew'. The Crew is really the magical group of people who bring about the seemingly impossible miracle of the creation- of a film, or a show, an ad or whatever. Unlike a painting or a book, this piece of art is a supreme work of team-art. Everyone contributes in his/her own way to actually bring about something conceived as a simple basic idea. And that applies even to B-grade films. A lot of people have actually slogged to 'create' that visual delight!! So be a bit thoughtful for the 'crew' next time you slam a film! No seriously!

I mean look below -
