But bubble burst...

A mechanical engineer from an engineering college in India, worked in in different parts of the country, Amhedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Durgapur, Mysore. He decided that Bangalore would be the city to settle down and start his family. Now he was 17 years into his dream.

He had done everything right till now. He had an independent house in the best locality. An apartment which provided a secondary source of income. A business which he ran well. A wife who adored him, and whom he adored too. He had a daughter and a son, both were doing well academically and they had a good sense of what was right and what was wrong. He had good relations with his siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles as well as his wives relatives. A perfect family. He had only one health problem, blood pressure. He kept that under control. He had fulfilled most of his dream. He was a role model for many people. He knew it and he often smiled to himself when he thought about it. He hadn't inherited wealth unlike others he knew. He had many friends and his exposure to various lifestyles had given him a humbleness that many people he knew lacked. His hard work with god's grace had brought him here. Gardening was his passion he sprayed water all over his garden on Sundays. He played plenty of games with kids, it brought the kid out in him too. He wanted to build an old age home. He often told his wife that they would live in an old age home and be independent of their kids, it seemed more practical for them to live in their apartment and rent the bungalow. He didn't think of when to build that , but it was on his agenda. Right now he could do make more money, save some and lead a better lifestyle. He liked to live life king size. His kids studied at the best school, and every week they would go out to eat at least once. When he was a kid, he had been raised by his grandmother initially, she had taken him to watch several movies. He made it a point to watch movies in the theater. Even if it meant spending double the ticket price. He planned at least one family holiday a year, sometimes they would join his siblings and friends.

He had it all planned out. He didn't tell anyone what was on his mind for the future though. He would draw geometric patterns and ponder as to what would happen next. He assumed he would be there for a long time and achieve all his dreams, take care of his wife and kids..... but the bubble burst.
