My Journey from Dubai to India | Vande Bharat Mission 2020

Vande Bharat Mission 2020 | Covid-19

 

13th May – 25th May 2020

Today, I am going back to India in this pandemic Coronavirus Covid-19 via Vande Bharat Mission. I never thought that a virus generated so far away from me could uproot my life in such a manner. Corona has disturbed my life, my dance company, and my future plans as of now.

 

No problem! Life is all about the same, Ups and downs…

I applied for the Vande Bharat Mission online a week before and received a call from the UAE embassy saying that I will be booked on the next flight home.

On the day of my flight, I got up at 08:00 Am, took a walk around my home area, and visited the Dubai Creek one last time before I left Dubai. I had my breakfast, meanwhile cross-checked the list of things which I am going take. All my friends came to drop me till the cab and they wished me for a better life ahead in the future.

 

Dubai’s Cabs are smart and well-featured; drivers are well qualified in traffic rules, as per corona guidelines this cab has divided into two parts from inside with the plastic see-through sheet. But there is one small squire cut to give the instruction to the driver. The cab driver’s name is Mr.Hamza from Pakistan. He was really polite in a way of talking, alert, and focused on his job.

Hamza told me how corona has affected his life as well these days he is getting less number of passengers and not enough to survive himself in Dubai and his family in Pakistan.

 

Weather is really pleasant today, roads are clean as usual, date’s tree looking so beautiful, meanwhile, I am going through with so many feelings like sad, scared due to corona and how the arrangements in the airport would be during coronavirus, overall I love this morning and I m trying to make myself comfortable to say Bye Bye to DUBAI…

The driver parked the cab in the parking and trying to help me to get off the baggage from the cab and the good thing is he also wished me May Allah Bless You.

 

NOW… I REACHED THE AIRPORT!

Once I entered the airport… In beginning only one of the officers guide me to the passport & embassy paper counter to get the verification then the second officer told me to sit and wait for a blood test. after five minutes a doctor came and asked me to get the blood sample. After that, she told me to wait for five minutes more, and again another officer came and told me to get the report from the report counter.

That time I got scared, I thought maybe he will say that you cannot go to India and many more …

So many negative feelings came.  But…

Suddenly the doctor look at my face and said Allhumdulilah!

You are fine … and start laughing then he put one sticker (ok to the board) on the top of the passport and wishes me.

Then the baggage counter and then immigration and then finally flight boarding.

Each and everything was so smooth and well organized from the beginning till the end. Many people were there to guide and support. The entire process was completed within 2 hours like a well-oiled machine.

Mr. Karam Jeet Singh and Ms. Sheetal Agarwal were the crewmembers from the Air India flight number 787 aircraft Dreamliner. Once I saw them I thought that I am going to enter some kind of bioweapon laboratory or chemical chamber. Because of their attire (PPE Kite) once I saw their faces they were looking so uncomfortable, but still, they were helping and guiding everyone. So I took one selfie with them. Ms. Sheetal guides me to my place and told me to wait until the next instructions. All the safety precautions were in place on the plane. Luckily I got the window seat and it was so comfortable, spacious along with entertainment screen.

 

There was one big box of fresh food, two water bottles, two masks, four sanitizer pouch, and a facial plastic shield to protect your face. Crewmember announced that please be seated at your place and do not talk or discuss with anyone, that’s why who are traveling with the family they got the seat with other random people, Not with their family members and avoid to use washroom accept emergency.

 

Once I reached the Delhi airport the officers guided us to follow the social distance during all the procedures. Officers divide all the passengers into many groups according to state wise and each group has to be a maximum of 20 people. There were people from three states UP, DELHI, and Haryana in the same flight.

My group name was A1. We have to be together during immigration and collecting luggage. Finally, I went for the washroom after 9 hours, once the group reached the luggage collecting area.

At last, we went for temperature checking and the choosing quarantine venue area as per government guidelines. There were three options for the venue like; Free of cost government quarantine center, two-star hotel 2000 per night as quarantine center, and a five-star hotel 5000 per night as quarantine center. Everyone needs to choose one of them from these options only, for the same all of us have signed one confirmation letter at Dubai airport. I have selected a two-star hotel 2000/- for 14 days quarantine period in Ghaziabad. So UP Police officers bring three buses for all of us to take to the respective venue as per the selection of each passenger, according to his wish.

 

Finally, the Police bus dropped me at the venue around 02:30 am. I just took my room keys from the reception and went to my room to take a bath and a good nap.

Once I woke up in the morning I saw that room was so nice, clean and really big room. I was happy to see this room because I did not expect these room services before since I had seen many videos on Facebook about many people who came from many countries and they had shared horror stories of their experiences.

But now I’m so happy and satisfied, today is the first day of the quarantine period and I got the fresh breakfast this morning then lunch and dinner, in the same manner, all 14 days. Every day was the same.

The only thing that kept me sane was the end goal in mind…reuniting with my family…safe & sound!

 

Day – 10 | Covid-19 Test!

The receptionist called me and asks me to come down to meet the doctor.

Once I came down to the reception I saw that doctor wearing PPE kite and there is a single chair in the big space in front of reception. And doc ask me to set on the chair so I did, then he ask me to face up and head bend down so I did, and before I think anything about this situation doc took six incises long coronavirus tester equipment put it in my nose.

It was so painful that I could not imagine, after a few seconds he asked me again and then he put that equipment on the other side of the nose. After that he asked me to open my mouth then he put other equipment stick in my mouth. As I told you that this procedure was so painful and it was more then I expect.

After two days I got my report results (Negative).

Today is my biggest festival called Eid-Ul- Fitter and I’m going to meet my family that’s why I’m so happy and excited to meet my son. Mr.Gajender arranged a cab for me from GZB to my home Meerut, and I paid 1400/- for that. Around 09:00 pm I have reached my home and meet my family. Everyone was so happy to see me, even my neighbors.

Especially, I want to say thanks to the quarantine center/hotel’s staff and Mr. Gajender (Officer Quarantine Center) they all are so humble, supportive, and positive people.

May Allah Bless All Of Them…

Profession:   Choreographer, Actor, Film director

INDIAN MICHEAL JACKSON

Prabhu Deva Sundaram was born in Mysore, India, on April 3, 1973, and grew up in Alwarpet, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. He was inspired by his father, Sundaram, who was a dance master for popular South Indian movies. He took dancing as his career and passion, by learning Bharatanatyam and western dance styles.

 

Personal Life:

Talking about his personal life Deva married Ramlath. The couple had three children namely Vishal, Aditya, and Rishi. According to the report, his eldest son died at the age of 14 in 2008 due to cancer. After lining together for 15 years, the couple parted ways in 2010.

His brothers Raju Sundaram and Nagendra Prasad are also South Indian choreographers. From choreography, he went on to establish himself as an actor. His dance steps helped him become a star in Kollywood (the Tamil film industry). His first movie as a dance director was Vetri Vizha. He has since choreographed in over 100 movies.

 

His CAREER:

As an Actor
Prabhu Deva made his acting in 1994 with Indhu, a Tamil language film directed by Pavithran. The film co-starring Roja, R. Sarathkumar, and Kushboo emerged to be a huge commercial hit. In the same year, the actor appeared in his first action-romance film, Kadhalan (1994), opposite Nagma. The film won wide critical appreciation as well as won several recognitions including Four National Film Awards. The music composed by maestro A.R. Rahman was immensely popular and the song Mukkabala became a national sensation. Owing to the popularity of the movie, it was later dubbed in Hindi as Humse Hai Muqabala and in Telugu as Premikudu.

Prabhu Deva got his next breakthrough in 1997 when he starred in Minsara Kanavu, a romantic drama co-starring Arvind Swamy and Kajol. The film won rave critical reviews and garnered several accolades including National Film Awards, three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards, and one Filmfare Award. In 1998, he starred alongside Kamal Haasan, Soundarya, and Rambha in the comedy film Kaathala Kaathala, directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. The film opened to positive reviews and emerged to be a hit at the box office.

By the advent of the new millennium, Prabhu Deva had already established himself as one of the most sought-after actors in the Tamil film industry. He kicked off the new millennium on a high as his first release in the year, Vaanathaippola (2000), went on to win the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The actor had four other releases in the same year: Ezhaiyin Sirippil, James Pandu, Pennin Manathai Thottu, and Doubles but only Pennin Manathai Thottu fared well at the box office while others were either average earners or flops.

The year 2002 was the year of `firsts` for Prabhu Deva as he made his debut in Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi film industries with H2O, Santosham, and Agni Varsha. While his Kannada and Telugu films received highly positive reviews and were a box office hit, his Hindi film co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Nagarjuna, and Raveena Tandon failed at the box office.

While 2003 was a forgettable year for Prabhu Deva with all three of his releases failing to do well, the actor had a good run in 2004 as both his Telugu films – Tapana directed by Tejas Dhanraj and Intlo Srimathi Veedhilo Kumari directed by K.Vasu – performed well at the box office. His only Tamil film of the year Engal Anna co-starring Vijayakanth and Pandiarajan was declared a box office hit. With no releases to his name in 2005, the actor started 2006 on a successful note with a Telugu film titled Style directed by Raghava Lawrence. The film was later released in Tamil as Lakshyam.

Post-2006, Deva did not have any significant release until 2011, when he made his debut in Malayalam cinema with the historical drama Urumi, co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. After the huge success of his Malayalam debut, the actor appeared in the Hindi film ABCD – Any Body Can Dance, which released in February 2013.

Following the success of the directorial debut venture, Prabhu Deva next directed Pournami, which starred Prabhas and Trisha Krishnan. Despite the huge hype around the film, it did not perform well at the box office.

In 2007, Prabhu Deva got his major break as a director with the blockbuster Tamil film Pokkiri, which featured Vijay, Asin Thottumkal, and Prakash Raj in central roles. Following the huge success of the film, he later remade it in Hindi as Wanted (2009) with Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia in the lead roles. Just like the Tamil film, the Hindi version too received highly positive reviews as well as emerged to be a massive commercial hit. In 2011, Prabhu Deva had two directorial ventures – the romantic drama Engeyum Kaadhal and the action thriller Vedi. However, both the films failed to impress.

Rishi Kapoor: Acting Carrer

Rishi Kapoor’s first-ever movie role was in his father’s film Shree 420. Rishi can be seen walking with two other children through the rain in ‘Pyaar Hua, Iqraar Hua’ song of Shree 420.

In 1970, Rishi Kapoor made a debut from his father Raj Kapoor’s film ‘Mera Naam Joker’ where he plays the childhood role of his own father. In 1973, he had his first lead role opposite Dimple Kapadia in the film ‘Bobby’ and became an instant hit among the youngsters.

From 1974-1997, Rishi Kapoor did films with solo leads and only 11 films did well on the box office while the other 40 films were a flop. The 11 hit films were– Bobby, Laila Majnu, Rafoo Chakkar, Sargam, Karz, Prem Rog, Nagina, Honeymoon, Banjaran, Heena, and Bol Radha Bol.

From 1974-1981, Rishi Kapoor paired with his future wife Neetu Kapoor, but the pair didn’t create magic. Only multi-starter movies with Neetu Kapoor were hit–Khel Khel Mein, Kabhie Kabhie, Amar Akbar Anthony, Pati Patni Aur Woh, Duniya Meri Jeb Mein. The movies where Rishi Kapoor was in a lead role with Neetu Kapoor were flop– Zehreela Insaan, Zinda Dil, Doosra Aadmi, Anjane Mein, Jhoota Kahin Ka, Dhan Daulat.

From 1977-1994, Rishi Kapoor was offered the roles of younger brothers in multi-starer films. From 1976-2000, Rishi Kapoor acted in 41 multi-starer films and was cast as the second or the third lead hero. Out of these, 25 films were hit and 16 were a flop at the box office.

In the 90s, Rishi Kapoor’s film Deewana, Damini, and Eena Meena Dika were successful. Kapoor got plum lead hero roles a few times in two-lead hero films– Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin, Badalte Roshtey, Aap Ke Deewane, Saagar then in the ’90s with Chandni, Deewana(1992), Damini(1993) and Gurudev (1994).

In an interview in 2012, Rishi Kapoor stated, ‘I landed in Bobby by default. There was a misconception that the film was made to launch me as an actor. The film was actually made to pay the debts of Mera Naam Joker. Dad wanted to make a love story and he did not have money to cast superstar Rajesh Khanna in the film. So the story was converted to a teenage love story and I was cast.’

Best Way To Launch Your Product

Best Way To Launch Your Product!

Heighten your visibility, avoid costly mistakes and build buzz with these strategies

 

You’ve created the killer product that will change the world. Now you need people to buy it. Top entrepreneurs share their tried-and-tested ways to build buzz so people buy from you and passionately spread the word for mega profits.

<img scr="first dance events" alt="Product launch events"/>

  1. Be strategic

One, find your core audience. Whether you’re creating the new iPhone or a cupcake stand, find and learn from your core audience. Establish your base and build their confidence in you.

Two, get advice and listen. Most friends will be your biggest cheerleaders, but that doesn’t mean they’re helping. They need to poke holes in your ideas, which you can fix before taking a product to market. Resist the urge to be defensive. And use the opportunity to strengthen your product.

Three, learn from others. There are no more original ideas, just repurposed ones. As you prepare to market your idea, examine your competitors. Take from their good, learn from their bad, and enhance what needs to be improved. Then put your spin on it.

Four, be smart about publicity. You no longer need traditional media to drive ideas, products or messages. Don’t get caught up in creating a PR budget if it won’t drive core business. Instead, spend your time creating messages to buyers.

Five, conditioning your social media audience is critical. Always pushing them to “buy” creates fatigue, making them feel like a number. Build a relationship with your audience at least three months in advance so they can learn your tone and rhythms. Then seek ways for them to interact with your product.

Six, for all your analysis, don’t forget to rely on “feel.” Entrepreneurs are risk takers with unwavering belief. Don’t abandon that now that you’re moments away from the launch.

Finally, use the power of broke. I wrote a book about this. My biggest business mistakes came when I tried to buy success. My most successful business experiences came from using limited resources, supported by innovation. Resist the urge to spend, spend, and spend.

 

  1. Go overboard with outreach

Obscurity kills businesses. If you don’t go overboard, you won’t get the attention needed to be successful. Before launching a new product, ask yourself: One, How far will I go to get attention? Two, How frequent will I be in my attempts?

  1. Use common sense

Know your audience. If someone asks you, “Who’s your target audience?” have a concise answer. Otherwise, there’s a problem. Also, get to know your stakeholders. Find out where they spend their free time and join them after work. Events are great for getting your product into the community. Consider sponsoring a mixer at a local restaurant, brewery or wine bar to draw interest.

Know your product’s value. Interview a client who found success using your product. Ask them why it was successful.

With branding and promotion, have a multimedia approach that includes print, photography and video. Don’t treat hash tags as an afterthought; they’re a powerful tool to grab eyeballs. Use them intentionally. Follow and engage with reporters on social media who can direct attention to your product. Ask a local celebrity, like the mayor, to do an on-camera interview. Worst case, they say, “No.” Best case, they authenticate your brand.

  1. Target major media outlets

Attention is the currency of the internet. The average person consumes an inordinate amount of information daily. To get attention, cut through the noise.

With the right strategy, you can land a major media placement. Pitch yourself as an expert and target high-profile news outlets. Figure out what story segments producers want. They’re under pressure to book the right experts, so there’s a good chance your knowledge fills a gap.

  1. Build your super fans

Don’t jump into launching a product without first building a community of super fans who’ll vouch for it. Lay the foundation to build the buzz later. It may take one to two years, but it’s worth it. You could start with conferences. Hunt for your target audience. Invite them to join a value-add Slack group or receive exclusive invitations to your events.

After launching, if your fans don’t resonate with your product, revisit square one. Don’t judge your market; listen because they’re telling you what they want. Fix the current product to their liking and they’ll build the buzz it deserves. And you’ll avoid losing a lot of money, wondering why your promotions didn’t go as planned.

  1. Bring brand ambassadors into your business family

It takes a village to get buzz for your business. Find ambassadors whose interests align with yours and bring them into your business family. 

  1. Use pre-launch videos to drive leads

Use a pre-launch video campaign to jump-start product sales and build brand awareness. Your price point should correlate with the length of your video content. While lower-priced items require 15 to 60 seconds of video, a more significant ask is best served by a five- to 15-minute pre-launch video campaign.

Use a landing page with a sign-up form to capture email addresses. Then, create an email campaign that offers special incentives to buyers who refer family and friends.

A respected influencer gives instant product credibility. Get industry influencers to put your product in front of their fans through endorsement campaigns.

  1. Technology is your friend

Webinars are perfect for spreading your message in an attractive, engaging form. Here’s how to maximize your success:

One, research and choose the right webinar software: easy to use, requires no IT knowledge, downloads or installations, and is ready to go — time is money. The software should give you the necessary tools for the whole process — before, during and after the webinar.

Two, host webinars on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. That’s when you’ll get the best attendance.

Three, craft a “catchy” topic name to draw the largest audience: “The Marketing Platform of Your Dreams” is more enticing than “New Marketing Automation Platform.”

Four, tell everyone about your launch via every means possible: email, your website and social media.

Five, prepare an agenda. Tell your audience what to expect from your webinar, with the intended topics. Don’t forget timing: Our research found that a webinar shouldn’t exceed one hour — 30-40 minutes for your presentation and 15 to 20 minutes for Q&A.

Six, focus on solving a problem your audience may face. Subtly incorporate your product into the discussion, but concentrate more on the outcome and less on the product.

With a strategic approach, webinars reach, educate and engage your audience, earn their trust, improve your conversion rates and, ultimately, impact your bottom line.
