Good job everybody. Keep on practicing, You are gonna shine brightly on the stage this time and let the world know what you, the Dance Maniacs of RGD ( Rajiv Gandhi Drama) University are capable of."
A fit and sharp looking middle aged in casual clothes was instructing a 20 students group, who were dancing before him.
Under the middle aged man guidance, the moves of the students group were smooth and in sync without any mistakes. Especially the three boys at middle in front line. Those three were executing complex and difficult moves easily without break a sweat.
Not to far away from the dancing student group, five young men stood there, watching the dancing students attentively.
One of them, a handsome blonde young man looked bored and uninterested as seemed to start playing with him phone ignoring the others.
Among the other four, one of them wearing spectacles acting like a leader. Looking at the dancing group, he seems to pondering about something. As for the remaining three, expect for one that seemed neutral, other two stood behind the spectacles guy like his loyal lackeys.
"No wonder the three of them from Dancing Maniacs were confident, so they invited an Industry expert as a choreographer. Anyway it is a good thing for us. If they managed to win the Dance Spirit Award, everyone from our univeesity will benefit. What do you think, student Pawan?"
The spectacles guy looked at the neutral looking guy whose name was Pawan with an inquiring look.
Pawan thought for a while before saying calmly.
"I am not sure, Brother Kruthik. I think If they practice well, there is 40% chance they might win the Dancing Spirit Award."
Even though Pawan Kumar said that outside, on the inside, he smiled wryly.
40% chance?
Who is he kidding ! It would be a wonder if there is was even 5% chance.
There were a total of 4 Spirit Awards given to the best throughout the whole Spirit Award Fest of 5 days that will be live in Maa TV for 3 hours a day, with each day in one University.
First was Host Spirit Award. The 5 Universities choose their own students who are good at hosting for their day of the fest. If the student is capable enough, he alone can host all 3 hours of the day. But if he is not, the time will be split and hold by 2 or more Hosts. Based on the students performance, the best will be given Hosting Spirit Award on the final day.
Second, Dance Spirit Award. All kinds of Dances, Acrobatics, Formations, Stunts... Among all these, Dancing Spirit Award will be given to the best.
Third, Music Spirit Award. Songs, Raps, Poems, Instrumental music or any kind of creative music... the best among all these will be given Music Spirit Award.
Lastly, Acting Spirit Award. Dramas, Skits, Mimicry, plays... with the best of them being given Acting Spirit Award.
It's been 5 years since Rajiv Gandhi Drama University had gotten any Spirit Award. Honestly, Pawan isn't confident about getting one this time either. As a part of the Management team, he had an Idea about other universities participants.
One Industry expert?
They had a bunch of Industry experts instructing them day and night.
Not to mention, in these 5 years, the number of talented students RGD University recruited is a lot lesser than other other universities.
If there is a chance for RGD University, it will be only possible by a miracle.
"Only 40%? I think student Pawan is underestimating our students. If you ask me, there is more than 70% chance they might win Dance Spirit Award."
"Forget about them, if there is someone who can definitely win a Spirit Award, it will be Brother Kruthik. Brother Kruthik is the best Host our University even had."
"Not just our University, even including the other 4 universities, Brother Kruthik is the best."
"Yes yes. Brother Kruthik will definitely win the Host Spirit Award Fest."
The other two students who were eagerly waiting for a chance to bootlick Kruthik couldn't help but intervence when they finally got a chance.
Their flattery did made Kruthik happy but he didn't show it on his face. Ignoring them, he looked at Pawan.
"Student Pawan, You are in management team, right? Why don't you tell me about other participants?"
Tell you about other participants? is that even necessary? Why the heck are you following us and disturbing our work?
Pawan starting feel a bit annoyed with Kruthik and his lackeys' presence. But what could he do? The other party is the son of a Higher Up in SKS Entertainments. He could only stay calm and reply patiently.
"All the participants are here and practicing for the Fest... except for two of them."
"Two of them? If I heard correctly, one should be the recently transfer student who never came to the University. Honestly, I wonder how could someone even transfer just before the final year exams...
Anyway, as for the second one, hehe.. An idiot who showed an idiot trick and successfully tricked another idiot. That idiot Arjun, right? I watched that stupid video of licking some nose or something. I really don't know why that kind of stupid video becomes popular.
Oh and that Idiot Johan. Only an idiot like him would be tricked by that kind of joke. Hehe.."
Kruthik showed a disdainful expression as spoke about Arjun and Johan. His two lackeys were about to follow up and flatter Kruthik, but an unexpected lazy voice interrupted them.
"Hahaha.. Idiot? The son of Jordan Raushan, the CEO of SKS Entertainments, is an idiot? Even if he is an idiot, so what? You have to bow your head and kiss his ass infront of him. You calling him an idiot?
As for Arjun, do you think he is that simple? Say for example, he is simple, so what? If you and him stand by stand for a while in public, even without doing anything, he will gain more attention and popularity that you can never get by doing something just with his face.
Think of your worth before saying anything."
The blond guy who had been silent the whole time laughed before walking away.
Pawan, hearing his words, secretly gave a thumbs up to his friend before following him.
"Tsk. Isn't he just the camera man. He think he is more worty than Host?"
"Brother Kruthik shouldn't care about these lowly people."
"Right right. Brother Kruthik shouldn't care them."
Kruthik got angry at blonde's words but hearing his lackeys flowery words, he calmed down.
Indeed. Why care about some low lifes?
"Let's go and wait for our friends from the Dancing Maniacs to finish their practice. We can go to pub afterwards."
Kruthik walked towards the dancing group, forgetting about the blonde's insults. Naturally, his two lackeys followed him respectfully.
