The Bastard

She sat on the bed, weeping.

She looked at him and screamed, "You are a bastard!! You were born alone and were destined to die alone, you son of filth..."

He calmly looked back at her and smiled.

"Funny you should say that," he said. "I thought each one of us was born alone, travelled alone through life and died alone."

He got up from the chair and walked away, leaving her weeping.

Well I heard that MBA's are manipulative and that make sense to me they want to grow. And I respect their power and work that they do despite whether they are working in a MNC or a Indian company! Well here in my company there are lot of MBAs with whom I have debated professionally for the betterment of the products. And its perfectly fine to me!

Well your problem lies when you bring that up in your personal life. Since I consider your blog a just a matter of personal thoughts and opinions which is open to comment by anyone. Keeping that in my mind I wanna ask you a personal question. If you don't mind? Don't you have any parents?
