In the serene environment of Nandini's cabin, the sound of rustling papers and whispers could be heard. Nandini, with her back straight and her eyes focused, sat on her chair with a sense of purpose. Beside her, Sid was meticulously organizing the papers, arranging them in neat piles. After a while, they both finished their task and made their way to the studio.

As they walked towards their destination, they could hear the faint sounds of music that grew louder with each step. Finally, they reached the studio, where Abhishek Pandey, the newest singing sensation, was recording his latest single. The studio was bathed in warm light, with microphones, headphones, and other equipment scattered about. Abhishek's voice echoed through the room, filling it with his mesmerizing melody, and Nandini and Sid couldn't help but be captivated by his performance.

After a few moments of taking in the ambience, Nandini and Sid got to work, discussing the details of the upcoming project with Abhishek. They spent hours in the studio, fine-tuning the music and lyrics to perfection. The experience was unforgettable, and Nandini and Sid left the studio with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

On the other hand, Fab 3 had scheduled a meeting at the label, but unfortunately, Sid and Nandini were running late due to their discussion with Abhishek. As they waited, the group grew increasingly restless, as they had a jam-packed day ahead of them. However, just as they were about to give up hope, Cabir, Mukti, and Navya walked in, all at once, creating a sudden burst of energy in the room.

As they settled in, it became evident that the trio had been discussing something important on their way over. They were all excitedly sharing their plans for an upcoming band launch, and the air was thick with anticipation. Cabir was animatedly describing the band's unique sound, while Mukti was discussing the visuals for their debut music video. Navya was busy jotting down notes, nodding along to the discussion and interjecting with her creative ideas.

Despite the delay, the unexpected arrival of Cabir, Mukti and Navya had breathed new life into the meeting. The group was now more energized than ever, ready to tackle the challenges of the day with renewed enthusiasm.

But the joy from their face disappeared when they saw Cabir, Mukti and Navya going towards the meeting room. Soon Fab3 saw Nandini and Sid join them in the meeting room.

After a brief lull, Fab3 received an urgent call that summoned them to the meeting room. With a sense of urgency, they immediately headed to the location. Sid gestured for them to take a seat as they waited anxiously for the interview to commence.

As the minutes ticked by, the anticipation in the room grew thicker. Suddenly, the door of the meeting room burst open, and in walked Harshad, a prominent member of the team. His sudden appearance caught everyone off guard, but he seemed determined to join the interview. The atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted, and the interview took on a new dimension.

The five members ( Sid, Nandini, Cabir, Mukti, Navya and Harshad) started to interview Fab3.

As Fab3 sat inside the meeting room, they couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort. The room was cold and sterile, the walls painted a stark white and the furniture minimalistic. The five humans seated in front of them were a curious sight. Fab3 observed their clothing, noting the intricate patterns and textures that adorned them. The humans' faces were also intriguing, with complex expressions that Fab3 struggled to interpret. As the meeting progressed, Fab3 carefully observed the humans' mannerisms, speech patterns, and other behaviours, trying to make sense of their unfamiliar ways. It was becoming increasingly clear to Fab3 that these humans were not like they used to be in college days, and this realization only added to their already heightened sense of unease.

And just like that, the interview began.

Fab3 was asked to sing a Hindi song that included the word 'Khuda'. The trio sang ' Khuda Jane Kya'.

As the music came to a halt, Mukti's sharp ear for rhythm picked up on a noticeable discrepancy. To provide constructive criticism, she stated, "I couldn't help but notice that your song was out of sync with the rhythm. It might be worth adjusting it to match the beat more accurately."

Navya scrutinized Manik and Alia's performance closely and realized that their lack of practice was evident in their voices. She took a deep breath and then addressed them both, "Manik, Alia, I've noticed that your voices lack the richness and depth that comes with proper practice. If you want to improve your performance, you need to put more time and effort into practising your vocals. I suggest practising at least an hour every day to improve your voice quality and overall performance."

Alia's face was contorted with anger as she raised her voice to shout, "You do kori ki ladhki!" Her words were in a language that I didn't understand, but the way she spat them out made it clear that they were meant to be an insult.  The tension in the air was palpable, and it took several minutes for things to calm down.

As Navya turned towards the person, her face mirrored a mix of confusion and offence. With a hint of disbelief in her tone, she questioned, "I'm sorry, did you just refer to me as cheap? Have you seen yourself?"

Nandini's voice boomed " Miss Alia! Don't forget you are here for an interview and if you do not get selected, you will not get good projects! "
