I always thought having a good personality 183 cms long and 95 kgs of human flesh was a plus point while dawning the role of a judge coz 1) competitors respect u 2) judge cannot be intimidated 3) noone would want to mess with a big guy!!!!
13/03/09 Kasturba Medical College, mangalore invited me as a judge for a event called TURNCOAT . Let me first explain what this is.. A person starts speaking for a given topic and then when the bell rings he talks against a given topic....
Me and dr. joseph were the two judges and we were all set to start the event but damn it we had no topics with us. Finally we just made some on the spot. and thus began the competition.
First topic POTATOES SHOULD BE ROUND IN SHAPE. . the person who came to speak on this(we actually pity him) , he had no clue wat to speak but then i should appreciate his effort in putting up with topic without any cribs.. good job adi
Second topic was DRINKING AND DRIVING SHOULD BE MIXED. Nice topic to speak on but the fellow who came to speak i guess was drunk!!!! he just could not speak. Joe got pissed , so did I.
Third topic was TEST CRICKET SHOULD BE BANNED. the girl who came to speak i must confess was cute... (she won the competition the moment she took the position on stage but then suddenly the soul of judge got up fom slumber and told me ar**hole , u re a judge dont act like a freak ) and then the JUDGE in me started listening . She was confident and made good sense but then my conscience felt that i was biased because of the beauty... so marks restrained ;) sorry gal sometimes being cute may earn negatives from a fair judge(fair does not refer to the complexion) :)
Fourth topic was VOTING IN ELECTIONS MUST BE MADE COMPULSORY. Here i have to make a confession. i was still in the hangover of the previous contestant that i just did not bother listening to this specimen... guy was utterly borin in next minute anyways so no confessions now.
Last topic of the day was GIRLS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DRINK IN BARS. Up came raj to speak and he started GIRLS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK IN BRA'S .... and gave the characteristic Raj pause for 5 seonds ..... The whole of audience was laughing their guts out when people started understanding that the bars to bra s was not a slip of the tongue but very much intentional... and then he spoke for the next 3 minutes and ran away with the first position....
CONCLUSION:A judge can have no idea of the competition which he is judging if the competitors taking part are so diverse that its not a tough thing to judge at all!!!! some competitor is always cut above the rest!!!
