This idea had dawned on Mink who in turn wanted me to put her wonderful idea in words; and in the bargain get slaughtered!!! So here I am writing this post with the hope of doing a good job and praying fervently that you all will spare me. In this graduation, I shall precide as Chancellor to hand out your awards.
We have cracked enough jokes on the cast, crew and the makers of TD. So ab baari hain, humari. Its very easy to laugh at others but when the joke is on us, we get offended and get sour. So my dear IF Friends, we have decided to re-christen most of you according to your "pet peeves" as I like to call it. It is rather a topic on which, each one of you is very good at and excel on the TD IF.
A Word of Caution: No offenece is meant to anyone mentioned and the names are not in any particular order.
If we called a rose anything else, would it not still smell as good? Shakespeare aplty said that names are not important.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,Nor arm, nor face, nor any other partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;
So let the ceremony begin……
Mink – She needs no introduction and is known to all the members of the IF. She breathes life into the Forum and is a very mellow natured person with a good sense of humour. She's the philosopher on board and the one with the privy to receive "inside information". "Woh tho andhar ki baat hai". She's the IF friend, philosopher and Guide on matters of the heart. So thereby I christen her Prof.of Love.
Bombi – There are no words to describe this feisty lady. True to her login name, she's a bomb and an atomic bomb at that!!. When she's on IF, everyone's running helter skelter for cover. Anyone who crosses her path had better be cautioned. They will be at the receiving end of a volley of abuses and profanities. She can take an entire army down with her volley of abuses. So I shall christen her as the Prof.of Profanity.
CB - She's the cool gal who gels with all on the IF. She has an excellent sense of humour with a perfect timing. Together with her script partner Bombi, they can be highly volatile. A good sport and a real pleasure to interact with and to have on aboard of the TD IF. So we christen her as Prof.Cool.
Sumi – Sumi babes is charming, witty and is a romantic at heart. But rub her the wrong way and she'll spew enough venom that will leave you shell shocked. She's very well mannered and maintains her composure most of the time. Do not go by her demeanour. We will call her Prof.SpitFire
Big J - Is the only thorn among the roses who dares to cross our paths!! But I admired his chivalry yesterday trying to shield manisha from the wrath of Bombi. He was trying to appease Madam Profanity but there was no stopping. Yet he stood his ground with good spirit and humour. Hats off to you brother, I shall name you Prof. Of Chivalry.
Jingle – She comes up with the wittiest posts on IF and is a sport. Posseses a good sense of humour that is very original. Does the daily updates diligently and is the jaan of the IF. We shall name her Prof.of Humour.
Samy and Mems - They shall share the same title. They are the revered members of IF who make a guest appearance from time to time. However, they are the heart of the IF. They are the tech gods who give us all the pictorial updates, TD clips and keep the TD flag flying high. Guhas should take a tip or two from them. So they shall be called Profs.of Tech.
Gulabo - She's a chupa Rustom. Full of ideas, wit, philosopy and a dream chaser. She was chosen as our e-bride with a lot of pomp and fanfare. She lapped up all the attention and loved every moment of it. She is the chosen one. Even though virtual, she became the e-bride of our demi god DK. She's a kind hearted soul and therefore, I shall name her Prof.Angel
Manisha – She's such a darling. She's our Queen of England. Unlike the queen, she's very timid and is petrified of Bombi but still wears a heart of steel. She has the temerity to approach a raving and ranting Bombi with her tears and words of apology. But she will never back off from a fight. She has that tenacity which I admire most. She habitually makes everyone her sister and later on claims Jeeju as her Janoo with elan. She shall be known as Prof. Of.Sisterhood.
Asian Princess and Princess Mad – We will give them a joint title because they are both royalty. They are never the ones to be left behind. IF is full of fun and frolic with them around. They are very dear to the IF. They also maintain a dignified front even though they are enjoying every bit of the fracas. They shall be known as Profs.of.Royalty
Simi - Its very hard to be a self critic. However, I will give it a shot. She's the female version of the mythical character "Narada" or call it the one with the Machiavelli traits. For those of you who don't know Machiavelli, he was the world's first politician. I am the person who instigates a fight amongst Manisha, Sumi and Bombi and then have a field day watching them hurling abuses at each other. Then I butt in from time to time to wave the white flag. Its so much fun watching and participating in a fight. I bet Gargi and Pori too must be doing the samel!! So I shall name myself. Prof. Of .Politics
