From the book

I made three mistakes; I don't want t o go int o  details.
My suicide is not a sentimental decision. As many  around me know, I am a 
good businessman because I have little emotion. This is no knee -jerk reaction. I 
waited over  three years, watched Ish's silent  face everyday. But after he  refused my 
offer yesterday, I had no choice left.
I have no regrets either. Maybe I'd have wanted to talk  to Vidya once more  –
but that doesn't seem like such a  good idea right now.
Sorry to bother you with this. But I felt like   I had to  tell someone. You have 
ways to improve as an author but you do write decent books. Have a nice weekend.
Regards
Businessman
17, 18, 19. Somewhere, in Ahmedabad a young 'ordinary' boy had  popped 
nineteen sleeping pills while typing out a mail to me. Yet,  he  expected me to have a 
nice weekend. The coffee refused to go down  my throat. I broke into a cold sweat.
‘One, you wake up late. Two, you plant yourself in front of the  computer first 
thing in the morning. Are you even aware that you  have a family?' Anusha said. 
In case it isn't obvious enough from the authoritative tone, Anusha is my wife.
I had promised to go furniture shopping with her  –  a promise  that was made 
ten weekends ago.
She took my coffee mug away and jiggled the back of my chair.  ‘We need 
dining chairs. Hey, you look worried?’ she said.
I pointed to the monitor.
