"Start action, camera, cut," so goes a Sreenivasan cinema dialogue. He said all at once. And the artist, cameraman and everybody present stood stunned hearing the instructions of the director. Even before action, he had said "cut"!
At Ootty a business review meeting was taking place. A marketing head had come from Mumbai. Review was conducted at a five star luxury hotel where the manager stayed.
When the local branch managers reached the hotel room for the review, marketing head from Mumbai was still watching a tv programme in the adjoining room.
.
After a while, with a little reluctance, he came to the room where the local managers had assembled for the review.
"Let us start," marketing head said. He was still watching the tv programme.
Local managers gave out a picture of the business performance.
Very soon the meeting came to a close after the visiting marketing head briefly spoke. Thereafter Marketing head hurriedly moved towards the tv set.
.
Sreenivan had said "Start action, camera, cut", but at Ootty business review had ended at "start" itself!
