SCRIPT

Non-genius: (scrolling, walking, trips; still scrolling)

Guide: (arrives and snatches phone): Aur ghus jao na phone mein tum?

Non-genius: (gets up) Haan haan okay.. but I’ve got nothing better to do
but be on my phone all day!

Guide: Then find something better na! You know what, I have the perfect
idea! Pick up a book!

NG: (pauses) Books?! Isse achha toh mar na jaau?

Guide: Arey (NG) phone ko lifeline banakar rakha hai. Try something
new! Books are so fun, let me take you on a journey through the joyful
written world!

NG: I couldn’t be bothered any less, but if you insist... I can give it a go..

Guide: Good, I have everything planned already! Such amazing books

these days call for awards to honor them. Come on in everyone!

(Everyone enters and takes their positions)

Guide: Now, I’d like to call upon our host for this award ceremony to
distribute these esteemed awards. Let’s get this show started!

Host (enters): Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our prestigious award

ceremony! These awards will be given to the best books in each category.
Gather 'round everyone! To get things rolling, why not introduce
yourself? Convince us, with all the charm and wit you possess, why your
book is the champion deserving of all the shiny awards! First up, the boy
who lived (any guesses?), Harry Potter!

Harry Potter (enters): Hello there, I'm Harry Potter, the Boy Who
Lived, straight out of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world. My journey's been
a wild ride filled with magic, mischief, and more than a few close
encounters with You-Know-Who. Just your friendly neighbourhood
wizard trying not to trip over my own broomstick!

Host: Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves, for the procrastination

sensation, the doodle dynamo, the one and only…Tom Gates!

Tom: Yo, I'm Tom Gates, your go-to-guy for chill vibes and epic doodles.
When I'm not jamming to tunes or perfecting my air guitar skills, you can
bet I'm avoiding homework like it's my side hustle. And hey, if you need
a laugh, just hit me up - I can turn any situation into a meme-worthy
moment. So yeah, that's me - Tom, your friendly neighborhood comic
genius.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Malala, the fearless education
advocate!
Malala: Hello, friends! I'm Malala Yousafzai. I believe in the power of
education to change the world. I'm on a mission to make sure every child
has the chance to learn and grow. I raise up my voice – not so that I can
shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.

Host: Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the girl on fire, Katniss
Everdeen!

Katniss: Hi, I'm Katniss Everdeen. I've spent most of my life just trying
to survive... People around here call me a lot of things, the Girl on Fire,
the Mockingjay - but to me, I'm just Katniss, trying to make it through
another day in this messed-up world. So yeah, I'm the girl who
volunteered as tribute, mastered archery, and has a strong dislike for
televised drama...unless it involves me shooting arrows at it.

Host: Now, let’s roll the magic carpet for Matilda!

Matilda: Hey everyone, I'm Matilda! Just a little girl with big dreams and
an even bigger book collection. life's like a library for me, full of
adventures and misadventures. My hobbies include reading, more
reading, and occasionally pulling a prank or two on the grown-ups. So
let’s put mischief and magic together!

Host: With a round of applause, let's give the stage to none other than
Percy Jackson himself!

Percy: Hey, I'm Percy Jackson, and let me tell you, being a demigod is
like living on a roller coaster that never stops! One day I'm battling
monsters, the next I'm arguing with gods who really need to chill out. But
hey, at least I've got some killer sword skills and a few friends who aren't
completely crazy.

Host: Introducing the man who made science as cool as a cucumber in a

freezer – the one and only, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam! He's not just a rocket
scientist; he's a star in the galaxy of inspiration!

Kalam: Hello, I'm APJ Abdul Kalam, but you can call me the 'Rocket
Man with a Plan'! I'm here to bring a little laughter to the cosmos and a
whole lot of science to your world!
Host: Get ready to meet the king of middle school mishaps, the sultan of
awkward situations, and the master of diary disasters – it's none other
than Wimpy Kid!

Greg: What’s up, I'm Greg, but you can call me the Wimpy Kid. I'm just
trying to survive middle school without becoming a total disaster zone...
emphasis on the 'trying'! Brace yourselves for a rollercoaster ride through
the hilarious ups and downs of my not-so-glamorous life!
Host: Here comes Sherlock Holmes, the witty detective with keen
observation skills!

Sherlock: Greetings, folks! I'm Sherlock Holmes, the world-renowned

detective with quite the thing for solving crimes with a pinch of dramatics
and a dash of quirk. So, buckle up for a wild ride through Victorian
London, where the only thing more unpredictable than the cases I take on
is my way of turning the most serious of situations into a laugh!

Host: Now now now, brace yourselves for the star of the show. The
maestro of numbers and the light of our lives, Give it up for Dr. RD
Sharma!

RD: Hello bacho! Bet you didn’t expect to see me here... Equations
dance in my dreams, and formulas sing in my ears. Let’s turn to page 1 of
my introduction, shall we? My infamous book, contains the best of
problems… and a bit of your worst fears. Let's dive deep into the ocean
of mathematics, where even the toughest problems tremble before my
calculations. Problems ko dekhkar mat ro, unko rula do HA HA HA

Host: Next up, it is really him! Your friend from New Mouse City! The
rodent, the myth, the legend... our showstopper! Geronimooooo!

Guide: What do you think about books now? Abhi bhi boring lagti hain?

NG: Oh-Em-Gee (OMG). I used to believe that reading books was

pointless. With such captivating books out there, why waste time
endlessly scrolling through reels? You have successfully managed to
change my perspective, and I can’t wait to explore all the excitement they
have to offer!

Guide: Glad I could help! Now, let’s go to the library and find what you
like!
