Author's POV:

People fell back into the routine where Vihaan went to the college dropped by the driver. He thanked the driver while the students and the faculty went gaga over the latest model of the car.

" Professor Aurora, was that your car?" Came a nosy student asking him.

" No," He gave a curt answer resuming his walk after receiving his morning dose of coffee from the canteen.

" Wasn't that the latest model?" The student asked again and Vihaan rolled his eyes.

Wasn't this why he used to come to the college in his normal BMW?

" I respect if you give a little space sir!" Vihaan smiled uncomfortably and walked away to the staffroom. The talk about the new car spread like wildfire in the whole university and his students started gossiping about his car in his class.

" I'd be pleased if you concentrated on the class dear students." Vihaan chided who stood before the screen waiting for them to pay attention.

" I've been standing here for the past 10 minutes to explain to you about the Exoplanet theory. And I'm not patient enough students. Concentrate here please." Vihaan said patiently taking a deep breath.

As Vihaan delved into the intricacies of exoplanet theory in his class, his students listened intently, their eyes flickering between the projected images of distant planetary systems and the elegant equations on the whiteboard.

Amidst the scholarly atmosphere, whispers began to spread like wildfire. "Did you see Prof. Aurora's new car? It's a beauty," One student murmured, barely containing their excitement.

Another chimed in, "Yeah, I heard it's a limited edition. Must have cost a fortune."

Vihaan, catching wind of the gossip, felt a wave of irritation wash over him. With a sharp click, he switched off the projector, casting the room into sudden darkness. The students, startled by the abrupt interruption, fell silent, their whispers fading into the void.

Vihaan's gaze swept across the room, his frustration evident. "Is there something more interesting happening outside my classroom than the wonders of the universe we're discussing here?" He demanded, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife.

A few students shifted uncomfortably in their seats, exchanging guilty glances. One brave soul spoke up, "Sorry, Professor Aurora. We got carried away."

Vihaan's expression softened slightly, but his tone remained stern. "Let's refocus, shall we? We're here to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, not to indulge in idle chatter about material possessions. Now, where were we?" He said, gesturing towards the darkened screen.
