There are people who are ever ready to join you for a smoke, or always inviting others to join them, or frequently away on their own for a 'quick' smoke. This is the award for them. And on that note, chal sutta maarte hai!

The world is full of chatterboxes. Well, to the chattiest of chatterboxes goes this award.

Every organisation has folks that love to talk. Some love to talk and talk and talk. You all know who that person is. This, the Chatty Cathy Award, is made for them.

They seldom attend class and study more seldom still. You'd think that one day it's all going to catch up with them, but it doesn't, because they have their cheat sheets to their rescue and to this student, goes the Cheat Sheet Ninja Award.

For the person who sticks to people like there is nothing better in the world to do goes this award.

Who is unruffled? Who is always calm? Who is the coolest of them all? For the person who is, this is the award. The Cool As A Cucumber Award for the employee who handles pressure like a Boss!

Some people don't care much about the clothes they wear. Others, however, live to play dress-up! To the person who always looks overdressed goes this award.

No, no, this has nothing to do with detergent. This award is for the person at the workplace who is most elusive. Perhaps they are hanging out with the winner of the Chal Sutta Maarte Hai Award? Who knows.

For those who are never short of bright ideas and light up like incandescent lamps every time they are presented with an opportunity to come up with ideas, we have this award.

This award goes to the employee who is terrible at following instructions and pretty much likes to do things their way.

We talk. We work together. We disagree. We meet each other day in and day out. This is work life. And in this work life, you will always come across someone who is prone to snapping back at the slightest provocation. This award is for them.

Maybe they don’t say "My father will hear about this!" to get out of life's most vexing problems, but this person somehow has a frustrating ability to absolutely, certainly, never ever get into trouble. If this description fits a colleague, they deserve the Draco Malfoy Award.

Lots of people love to dress well to work. Some like to dress really really well. Well, for the employee who lives to dress up, we have the Dressed to Kill Award.

Every organisation has a few people who can be counted on to fix things and make things all right. This, the Duct Tape Award is for the winner who gets their fix from fixing things!

We all know folks who never make it on time for anything! Well, this is not the award for them. The Early Bird Award is for the employee who thinks being early is too late!

Whatever the boss says, this person seconds. Every office has this type of follower. The Echo Chamber Award is a good-natured way to tell them you know who they are.

An Enthu Cutlet, in case you weren’t aware, is an Indian slang word that refers to a supremely enthusiastic person. Now, enthusiasm is a desirable quality to have as a professional. Some have it in spades. And for the one who has more enthusiasm than anybody else, we have the Enthu Cutlet Award!

Latecomers are aplenty. And then there is a latecomer who is the latest and the best of the lot. What’s more, this person will always have a ready excuse to explain their tardy ways. To this latest of the Latecomer's goes this award.

Some of us just worship family. For us, family values and what the family values are paramount. And for us there is the Family Bear Award, for the employee with the most adorable family values!
