Raghu Dixit tells Venky, ‘You’re too well-behaved!’

A day before Kailasa performed, on the second day of '

Nexus

', the

Raghu Dixit Project

rocked Venky and won the hearts of many with their folk music and Kannada lyrics. The band members, including frontman Raghu Dixit, wore colourful lungis, and Raghu took it a step ahead as he performed in ghungroos throughout. Dixit, who started his performance with the title track of the band's second album, 'Jag Changa', said, "It’s probably the only Punjabi word that I picked up from Delhi."

Masti Ki Basti

', the singer said, “Should we perform this like a bhajan? You all look so well-behaved, it's boring.”

Everyone has managed to learn the lyrics of this song, and passed the test. So this is the real test for Venkateswara. The lyrics are 'Lokada Kaalaji Madatheenanti, Ningyaar Byaadantaara Maadappa Chinti', which translates to 'Do not worry, be happy, but if you are still worrying, then worry, I don’t give a damn.' Now let me start with the Raghu Dixit Kannada teaching class!"

Students didn't get the lyrics, but enjoyed the songs"We thought a Punjabi singer would be better, but he is even better than that. The tunes are amazing and we loved his performance," said Aishwarya Tomar, a first-year student of B.Com (Pass) at Venky.

Shivanshi Patel, another first-year student of B.Sc (Life Sciences), added, "Though we were not able to understand the language, but the way he taught us the lyrics was a great experience."
