Something was wrong with the morning, it was not as if Sun had come up from wrong side or anything, it just did not seemed to be normal. Then there are very few things abnormal in any ones life, this was one such day in Hera’s life. Hera got up, and for no reason known to him, got ready very enthusiastically, and went to college, was just in time! Just before the prayer started. This had not happened for a long time now, well unless Hera did not sleep at all at night.

And here, even before he could enter his class room, he was escorted. Unannounced, without much details and without any prior notice, like an arrest. Towards an office, where Hera would not have gone for any reason at all, not even if it had been an emergency. And he started feeling the fear of a lamb being taken to gallows once he saw Avir standing in attention, very quite, as if he has been punished.

With a subtle moment of an eyelid Hera asked Avir

Hera: *What is going on?*

Avir: With not so subtle moment of shoulder *I dont know!*

And then they saw, what they wished they wont get to see, Dean walking towards the same office, gave them a bad ass glance and went in to the office, he was soon followed by the two professors who had helped Avir and Hera. They seemed to be surprised at the summons. Soon other directors of institute were coming, and entering office of the Principal Director.

After about an hour of tiring, mentally and physically, Hera & Avir were ushered in to the office. Hera was 1st too break silence.

Hera: “Sorry!”

Avir: “But Sir! Why were we called, when we did not get permission we dropped the plans.”

Sir: “We dont want you two to drop the plans, instead we are ready to give you permission, however; you would have to convince us how would your race help us and environment!”

Hera & Avir were stunned! And dint know what to say, so they did the best thing they knew, keep quite and stare!

Sir: “You dont have to answer now, but be ready with answer by day after tomorrow, and also think of a way to finance this event, and also remember we are going to demonstrate a device that will lower the emissions by near 100%”

And they were allowed to go and attend the class or go home and think of a way to get answers!

Hera: “Why are we supposed to look for finance? We went to them to get finance!”

Avir: “We are stuck in a pickle! We wanted race & money, and now we are going to do Rally and give money!”

Hera: “Whatever! Lets get something to talk about after 48 hours! And I was so sure this strange day was good, got up early and now I will sleep early too!”

Avir: “You were lucky then! I was dropped here by my father, he got a call from college, asking about me! He blasted me through the whole 30 minutes drive to college!”

Hera: Just looked at Avir and “Good night!”

Avir: “Good night!”

And they did go on to sleep, at exact noon o’clock.
