Saraswati's Misfortune

 Saraswati was born as the 6th child of a relatively affluent family in late 50s.Her father had been successful business man along with his brothers operating in Colombo.In due course they extended their operations and acquired assets and property both in then Madras and Kerala.Saraswati the cute girl along with her 3 brothers and 2 sisters shifted their education from Kerala to Madras.Her father also shifted his business from Colombo to Madras.He had been operating two high class hotels,a film studio and several shops.His business connections made him politically influential.He was able to find suitable match for his two sons and daughters.By 1979 he became seriously ill and later due to renal failure he expired.

                   Though sons have taken over the business they were not as successful as the father.Saraswti was doing post graduation at that time.Being a business family they were against taking up government jobs.She was an ardent devotee of lord Krishna and used to visit neighbouring Perumal temple regularly.She was also married to a smart business man Raju who was mainly involved in wholesale and retail clothes business.Both Saraswati and Raju had a wonderful married life and they were blessed with two beautiful kids one boy and a girl.life was moving smoothly.

                There was a very smart and hardworking girl named Saranya who was working as manager in Raju's firm. Gradually Raju got attracted towards her.It took a different turn when in the name of saving taxes she was made a partner in the records . Unfortunately in 2014 Saraswati got affected by tumour.She had undergone chemotherapy intermittently and her health deteriorated.Meantime intimacy between Saranya and Raju developed further resulting in further correction of records.By 2017Saraswati fully recovered from tumour and gradually became perfectly fine.She never raised an iota of protest against husband's behaviour. Later Raju wants to confess and settle the issue and become a reformed person.But his real trauma started.Saranya was demanding100 percent stake in the firm.Raju was willing to give 50 percent.Arguments and persuasion continued for nearly one week.She was not relenting.Raju out of fury and despair took the pistol and shot at her and later killed himself.Poor Saraswati had to vacate her husband's house and join with her son and family containing with what is left behind materially and her memories.As usual she continues with her temple dharsan.She became perfectly normal
