Facing rejection is always painful and I am no different. I was in love with a college classmate. The affaire continued for eight and half years. Even people around us would not believe that there could be a better pair.

But destiny had something else in store. She had an affair with her office colleague. She broke off from me abruptly, giving the reason that she did not like me anymore because was earning very less. I was bitter and behaved in the worst possible way.

But then, I have never regretted my reactions. I am not a saint, and how do we look at a person who cheats?? I had the courage to move on. After a couple of years of battling with my feelings, I fell in love once again. It's about five years that I have married her. I am well established in a world famous research institute and earn a pretty good amount.

When I reach home in the evening after ten to twelve hours of brain stirring work, I feel to be the happiest man in the world. My gorgeous wife and the cutest kid in the world would be waiting on the balcony, their smiles telling me how important I am to them!

My dear friends, don't loose hope and have the courage to move ahead because there are still better things in the world to be explored.
