Star of the Decade Award Winners
Yesterday we rewarded our Stars of ISC. Today it's time to reward two members who've been with us not for just five years or seven years or even eight, but a momentous decade+! Joining as members a year apart, they are both highly respected and continue to leave their indelible stamp.Join me as we appreciate the awesome twosome-
1. KVRR
He started with a wonderful statement, "We always live on the hope that the future will hold something good for us." in his very first forum thread wherein he suggested the implementation of a self-implemented code of conduct by electronic media, something that continues to be a relevant point, even more so, in fact, today. Here and there we saw a few articles penned, comments to other articles, a few colleges and courses, and some queries in the AE section. From that first thread, though, it is in the forum that we've seen his star shining bright. Don't look at those over 10k points that KVRR has ratcheted up in responding to threads; see the quality. We've seen how a response with just two sentences, and even one, can teach us the art of being to the point. After all, he is a teacher and we can learn a lot as his students!
and then there is
2. Venkiteswaran
He gave us some very interesting articles. Know how to wisely select dishes from a restaurant menu and have a laugh over his Pi article. Like the other winner, Venkiteswaran has garnered a stupendous number of points through both, the AE section and the forum. Again, it is not the quantity, but the quality of the approach in participating in a forum discussion or active GD or in answering a query that stands out. His presence has also been strongly felt in threads where the "Members vs Editors" arguments literally raged, and he'd express his own view far more calmly than anyone else - though I've seen a bit of that cool being lost a few times!
Thank you KVRR and Venkiteswaran for your commitment, for your steadfast presence at ISC through thick and thin, and above all your consistency in quality.
Each of the winners will receive a cash prize of Rs. 1500/-. We look forward to more footprints at ISC from these two veterans!
