Widow or Divorcee?

Sympathy and Restless came, to the IT capital of India, to work in a BPO, and there was much more in their life than the Chetan Bhagat stories, of One Night @ the Call Center, The 3 Mistakes of My Life and 2 States: The Story of My Marriage, all put together. All within a span of 4 years.

Having been colleagues and friends, when Ms. Sympathy from a typical Brahmin family of one state, was about to get engaged, Mr. Restless a Christian, from another state, took her to his home, for them to live happily ever after…

But what followed was the will of God ~

They got married against their parents' wishes, and when they started living, they realise that there is a mismatch in their dreams and passion.

They failed to get the respect and success of which they had dreams. With failure came all its negativities: hatred, beatings, quarrels, what more to say, finally they decided to part ways. Having no kids, added fuel to fire. Though now it appears to be a blessing in disguise.

Mr. Restless came across another Ms. Right for him, and had filed the divorce paper which was to take place in August. But he hanged himself to death on 14th July 2010.

That is the speed of life, we are living in today…Divorce comes before marriage, and death comes before divorce…Shocking but true.

Don’t know if I was numb or suscepted when she asked me ‘Am I a widow or a divorcee?’



Death is the life's way of saying: You’re fired!
Suicide is our way of saying: I Quit!
