This is the one thing that I have to give credit to the contestants for that in this very same event that took place in my college, but I didn’t have the guts to go on to stage & take part. That just shows how these guys are bold & confident & I think this has been proven well enough after seeing them performing here. I would really like to thank the team who is doing this, right from the looks, they are so good at it, they know how to showcase and already know how to engage the audience, gather their attention, even now I do not know that I think. I had to learn all this it while I was doing my job. It feels amazing to be a part of this contest!”
