Can't expect anything better from them. There are people who can handle them in much better ways. Let them do their job. It's not our cup of tea. We shouldn't even look at the cup.<br /><br />Unlike many people have told, the end is not tragic. You have ended with a positive note. Yes. That's what bad experiences bring. They teach many lessons and show us the real good people around. They are the most testing times in any marriage. A failure in business or profession can ruin one's family even if it's decades old. You are lucky to have seen the best of your partner in your worst times. I am sure you would have cried many times for the pain that your family (including children) had to go through. It's this kind of experiences that makes me believe in stuff like destiny, astrology, etc. Why out of the blue such an idea should strike you and that should give sleepless nights to a family that was otherwise leading a peaceful life?! :(<br /><br />Yes. I have no faith in our people or the system. They are horrible to say the least. All cheats everywhere! :(<br /><br />Sir, by the way, the faces of Eshwar and Mrs. Hariharan look familiar to me. Maybe, they have a typical boy/lady next door look. :)Bharathi Raja Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967585070190417889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457763034610918047.post-14297716367830822662011-08-25T22:04:41.140+05:302011-08-25T22:04:41.140+05:30Thanks for all your comments.

Though the story behind the post is sad. Very honest voice.<br /><br />Running a business is a tricky thing isn't it. Being head of a an established firm is something. But starting from scratch is completely different. I have had some similar experiences. I hope your loss was within manageable limits.<br /><br />Keep writing. Who knows.
