Tej Babu was now far "cooler" than I was. I guess he had attained what he wanted to. But he seldom seemed satisfied! He wasn't a great student at college, but he always had the college rooting for him at whatever he did! Well, I guess that was his way of taking his revenge, showing me that he could form a group and control it too.
There was hardly anything he couldn't do. He could sing, could dance, and was also the institute head of the dramatics team. His dramatics skills always deserved a special mention. He could emote to save his life. He had become accustomed to carrying plays on his shoulders all the way to the finish line.
It was the freshers period in the institute. Tej Babu, who was already heading the dramatics club in his very second year, was conducting auditions amongst the freshers for the dramatics team. It was a very pissing off day, as none of the actors could do any amount of justice to the acting. The role was for an extremely talented fisherwoman who could beat her customers into submission.
As he was puffing on a cigarette, a girl crashed right into him. She did not bother to apologize and went on. He screamed out to her calling her an idiot. She turned back, and walked up to him. She gave him a barrage of words, and the argument heatened up. Soon the talking was all nasty and she was all over him. The angry Tej turned to take another cigarette and puff away to glory, when he thought this kind of female was exactly how he wanted the heroine to be. He turned back, and the female was still there, with a sorry face. She immediately rushed to him apologised. He was still staring at her with a red hot face, when she introduced herself as Pragati, a fresher who desperately wanted to make it to the institute dramatics team, and what she was doing all the while was trying to convince him that she could act!
She could definitely act, thought Tej Babu, but she seemed like a bitch, and it would be a wrong choice to probably let him in, he thought! He asked her to get lost, and took another cigarette!
