Noon O’clock!
Twist one, twist two, a turn here and a turn there, if it were not for the situation, somebody would have thought Hera was learning how to dance. Sleep at noon o’clock is not easy any way, but when you are supposed to think of getting finances in next two days, it gets even harder. And when you are supposed to think of sources; Hera remembered from long time back, in his sub-conscious mind, you are supposed to get them, at least on paper.
When one says on paper, it does not mean hypothetically, but a surety from someone, that if you do this, they will sponsor you. Hera got up, frustrated, and no more in a position to sleep on a “SPONCERED” off day! And everything poured out of sub-conscious mind into conscious mind, and there was Avir, up on his toes.
Avir: “Man! We need to get the sponsors!”
Hera: “Yeah! I know!”
Avir: “We should be going, out there asking for money! Holy Shit! Just 2 days! What were they thinking?”
Hera: Frowning “We are not going out there to beg, and not knowing how much, we cannot even beg.”
Avir: “We need to make a list of things, we will need, check cost and then decide on a budget, and then approach the sponsors.”
Hera: “Ok! Get a note book, or rather some papers and a file, we need to make a rough draft, and be professional about it.”
And the lists are:
Requirements:
- Petrol (We will require litters and litters of it!)
- Forms (For participants and other documents- pages)
- Books (Various registers, receipts)
- T-Shirts/Race labels. (Some uniform)
- People (Unless we get volunteers)
- Prize money (Trophy alone wont make people enrol)
- Getting permission from traffic police (Well, it might cost)
- Pamphlets, posters and other advertising material.
0. And some for us (Red fiat and Hera’s travel plans, not on paper).
Sources:
- Enrollers/"Racers" (Entry fee, this might be a dampener)
- College (Has to be main source)
- A Petrol company (May be they will give petrol for free)
- T-Shirt company (For T-Shirts as above)
- Donations from local stores and restaurants.
Now, it was the time to hit the roads, whole sellers market to get quotations and put a prise tag on the cost. And before that, some rest before the evening begins.
