Creative Arts- Emcee Script

I was hosting as one of the emcees for a program which had its theme as I AM SHE. (Celebrating the essence of womanhood). I am posting the script here.

I am She


1.Introduction:
(First Emcee- dressed as Indra Nooyi walks in from darkness towards the spotlight)
I am a heavenly angel , i am the female divine
Until some foolish soul crosses the line
Then i can be nasty and i can be mean
A cold and unfeeling, cruel heartless machine
With barely a glance from my passionate eyes
I’ll quickly and wordlessly cut you to size
When angered, my tongue will spew acid and brine
The keepers of Hell have no fury like mine.

(Second Emcee- dressed as Kalpana Chawla walks in from darkness towards the spotlight)
 And yet I am gentle, I am limpid, I am calm
To soothe your anxieties my warmth is a balm
The heart in my bosom is a deep pool of peace
And after I arouse them, each senses I’ll appease
Mother of man, then his lover and wife
his strength and his weakness for all of his life
I am a witch, a diviner, a diva, queen bee
I am a goddess incarnate, in a word I am ‘she’

She is a corporate executive, She is a wife, She is a journalist, a dancer;
She is a soldier, an engineer, a doctor, She is an artist, a teacher
She is a ‘stay at home’ mom, She is one of us.

Revered ......................, Respected......................., Esteemed,  We’d like to welcome everybody to today’s hosted by the impressive ........................... 

We are your emcees for the evening.

Hi! Kalpana

Hi! Nooyi. So, did you finish your BOARD MEETING about finding this year’s international slogan for PEPSI?

 As of now we have thought of ‘MAX your life, Max your taste.’

My name is Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi and she is my close friend the famous Indian- American Astronaut Kalpana Chawla. During the preparations for the ladies club, we have learnt a lot. We’ll like to share the lot we have gathered with ‘lots of you.’

Before I forget, I will like to say ‘Thank You’ to all of you. Not only because I have been given an extreme honour to speak in front of all of you but for the weeks of fear and unsettled stomach I have endured at the thought of compering here, before you all, has made me lose weight. Now, I just have to take deep breathes and convince myself that you’ll understand me better, henceforth.

Now, we’d like to introduce our theme. Our theme is just as it sounds- catchy and different, ‘I am She’. She who is warm and approachable; She who builds beneficial relationships; uses diplomacy and tact to diffuse tense situations; she has a style and charm that immediately puts others at ease.

Kalpana: Without taking much of your time, we’d like to start the entertainment for the evening. We will begin our entertainment with Oprah Show. Oprah Winfrey needs no introduction. She is an inspiring, dynamic and arguably one of the world's most powerful and influential woman according to times and forbes magazines.

Nooyi: Kalpana do you feel some turbulence around here?

Kalpana: Yes, I do – the heart beats have gone up – and everyone is eager to sink into the depth of music, song, lights and joy. So, let us begin the show.


[OPRAH’S VIDEO WILL BE SHOWN AS HER INTRODUCTION]

Nooyi: you joined NASA Astronaut Corps in 1995 and you were the first India born woman to go in Space. Right!

Can anyone from the audience help me to find an answer to this question?

Thank you so much for helping me out.

1. There was this teacher who was teaching young kids the different types of animals, she showed them the picture of a giraffe, and asked them what it was. Nobody answered.. So she gave them a clue, ''It has a long neck.'' One kid answered, "Giraffe!" Pleased, the teacher showed a picture of a zebra. Nobody answered it again, so she gave them a clue. ''This animal has stripes.'' "Zebra!" one kid answered. So she put up another one, that of a deer. The teacher could not think of a clue.. but suddenly she came up with one!..she asked them ''what does your mother call your father?'' Suddenly one child got up and answered ''HORNY BASTARD!''

Creative Arts- Doing It

Some of the works that kept me busy for past few days is some compering scripts, some calligraphy practice, some research work for my dissertation (is based on Tales of Punjab, By Flora Annie Steel). Well! let me show you what I have been making.

This is a decoration for my crockery Cupboard.



These are gift envelopes I painted.



These are the paper dolls I made for Chinese Style Menu Items for a function. I used ice cream sticks inside them to finally make them stand on potatoes cut and wrapped with aluminium foil (like a stand).

I made girls with attires from Noodle eating countries and also with the menu items I have written the names of female chefs famous for the countries.

Indonesian, Malaysia, Chinese, Japanses, Vietnamese and Korean. (The theme was Feminine so all the costumes are for girls only).

Indian Folk Art (Kalamkari)

So, here I proudly present the reason why I was missing for so many days. Any guesses ...

Well! I was trying my hands at Kalamkari painting (Indian Folk Art). The entire picture is too big as compared to my scanner. 

This is what my son (Herman, 8 years) has tried while giving me company.
