PHOTOGRAPHER VEDAPRAKASH
"Everybody
is thinking that he is the
official photographer of this hotel" says Debika Banerjee, the Training Manager, ITC
Gardenia Bengaluru with a chuckle.
I
first met Vedaprakash, in the month of
September this year, when my Motivational workshops were orchestrated by
this hotel for their staff members. Yes, as pointed out by Debikaji,
he has been the official photographer. This time also this trainee shutterbug
was there like a disciplined soldier clicking pics during my workshops and the
group photo after my workshop gets wrapped up.
Vedaprakash, 19 yr old
student of P.E.S. University is a second
year student. Presently, he is undergoing his industrial training for six
months in this hotel, while pursuing his studies-Bachelor in
Hospitality and Event Management.
This
is the first time I am writing a blog on an industrial trainee. This time, he
has been attached to the learning services department. Though he has been to
all the departments, as part of the program, he will be beckoned always to take pics of the internal
training programs and other Employee Engagement Initiatives.
He is
an all rounder cricket player. When he was a plus one student, he was part of the college cricket
team; in the second year, he was the captain of the college cricket team. He is
a brilliant carrom player also. In the Inter Collegiate carroms competition, he
lapped up the Runner up position in the carroms doubles.
"One
should work honestly, he will be
recognised; but, don't expect any rewards. Just keep on doing your work meticulously;
one day, you will be rewarded. Be very genuine at work while dealing with
coworkers as well as the guests. Complete the work given to you without much
delay. Do not speak bad about your coworkers; that will pull yourself
down" opines Vedaprakash.
He
lives in Banasankari with his parents and elder brother, who also happens to be
a student.
