A new concept: TOSCAR©
Scene: Rathindra is surfing through the various channels on television. A note here that he does not get prime time for television viewing that’s because his grandmother has reserved the afternoons and 8-11 pm slots for herself. She must be given an award by the Indian television academy for watching all daily soaps twice; she does not miss the prime time telecast as well as the repeat telecast. Let’s come back to the point where Rathindra is munching Uncle Chips and sipping Assam tea followed by some sweets which includes kaju barfi, his favorite then there are samosas and a bowl of Maggi. Did the writer forget to mention bakery biscuits and Britannia Marie Gold. So while Rathindra is stuffing all these, he’s surfing through the channels and on every channel there’s New Year special programs lined up. One common thing is that on every channel there’s some awards event. This made Rathindra to think why not give some recognition to the TOPFLOORers, otherwise they will feel low when everyone around is coming home with a piece of silverware. Even TIME magazine has come with the concept of putting up a mirror on its front page and the caption reads “person of the year 2006 is YOU”
Thus Rathindra institutionalized the concept of TOSCAR i.e. “TOPFLOORers Official Stupid and Crazy Awards R”. The expansion of R is left at the discretion of the reader. The writer could not think of anything from R to complete TOSCAR’s expansion.
NOTE 1: As there are no sponsors for TOSCAR awards, no gala event could be organized and trophies given. Ah Raj do you have old expired stocks of Amway products, they can be given away as prizes, that way Amway will get free publicity as people will talk of Amway TOCSCAR awards then. Think about it.
NOTE 2: Any dispute regarding the decision of the ‘jury’ will only be resolved in the International Court of Justice, Hague. Whosoever questions the jury’s decision will have to take the jury on an all expenses paid trip to Hague.
Here are the TOSCAR 2006 winners:
1) Cheat of the year: Raj
He spoilt Dion’s best chance as instead of someone becoming A.Savio Antao, he turned that surname to Alakshendra.
2) Cook of the year: Chaki
Who can ever forget those bowls of Maggi that he secretly parcels to GH.
3) Style icon of the year: Shanoob
His latest POWER running shoes that can give you a casual as well as a formal look is the in-thing in fashion today. He’s proud of his shoes.
4) Scientist of the year: Rudra
His ‘solar tracking house’ designed with the help of Harish, Raj, Rai and Nikhil, or was it?? His state-of-the-art design, real estate experts say will begin a revolution and thus housing property is likely to see an increase in price rates. That’s bad news for TCSers, Rahul are you listening, they will not be able to afford a Rudra-designed house likely to be christened Sigmalogic© Houses.
5) Gadget of the year: Nandu
His laptop really deserves this award along with a new set of batteries. It works 24*7*32; yes that’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and used by 32 TOPFLOORers.
6) Most irritating hello tune: Karmakar
Ring him and you will hear one weird Bengali song.
7) Couple of the year: Rudra and Rai
Comically known as Bikram-Betal, they can be easily spotted together in and around the campus.
8) Bravery award: Muthu
In a game of 28 in cards, he never calls less than 20. Bravo, Muthu, bravo!!
9) Orkut success of the year: Krishnan
He finally added Richa to his friend list and also wrote a testimonial for her.
10) Sports highlight of the year: Ashok
Somebody tell him how to field a ball in cricket. Experts say he’s used to bigger balls but the smaller balls give him trouble. He’s a fine player in volleyball and basketball but is miserable in cricket.
11) Most loved character: Dion
Everyone is after him, whether it’s A… of BH or A… of GH.
12) Blunder of the year: Arun Prasad
His blunders cannot be mentioned here as it will take most of Bloggers server space. Go and ask any of the TOPFLOORers instead.
13) Guru of the year: Rahul
Popularly known as ‘sabse bada har*mi’ and also ‘luv guru’ takes the award. If you are feeling low or want any suggestion, he’s the person to go to, particularly if you want a positive talk on TCS.
14) Turning point of the year: Chiru
That someone has really changed him. Nowadays there’s an air of elegance and sophisticated presence with him. He goes around in his new jeans and body-hugging T-shirts, that’s our new cool Chiru.Way to go, buddy.
15) Lifetime achievement award: Samik
Now into his last semester in NIT Jamshedpur, this resident ‘budha’ really deserves the award. Four years of B.Tech (hons.) has really taken his toll on him. His hairline is receding faster than the stars from each other in our expanding universe. The ‘Big Bang theory’ is applied in reverse to his hair loss phenomena. According to the ‘Big Bang theory’ everything originated from a point and in Samik’s case everything is going back to a point.
Now let’s come to the most prestigious award.
16) Personality of the year: Rathindra
That’s Jury’s decision. “Jury kaa decision final hii nahi balki binding bhi hai”.
So that concludes the TOSCAR© awards. To end with, the writer wishes all its readers a very merry x-mass and a very happy new year.
