                    WHICH   FACE   TO   BOOK

A smart gentleman entered my office cabin  and introduced himself in a very aristocratic, elegant  and  gentle  manner.  Hesitantly he beseeched  permission for my  advice.  Generally people come  for official matters   but his concern was  his wife using Facebook. Interest   aroused in me since I am also a novice on  Facebook. His wife has more than a thousand friends on  FB and about a hundred of them are very close to her. He somehow managed to obtain her password and investigated all the details of her chatting  etc.  Three persons he found to be intensely close to his wife  and she, as per his narrations, had sent certain amount in their  accounts which  happens to be in my bank. He wanted to know the account numbers and the amount deposited. He was also  suspicious of her eloping  with any of the three gentlemen.

First, I expressed my inability since I am under oath of secrecy   not to divulge the account details to third persons. With his permission, I asked his age, 42,  his wife’s age, 40,  married since, 15 years, and  children, 2 sons- one studying in 7^th and the other in 5^th standard and she never had such an affair earlier.

I advised him not  to be suspicious as  everybody is having good number of friends on FB. Then I asked him where would his inquisitions  land him up – separation, severance- spoiling his own life, his wife’s  and his children lives. Is there no other amicable  way to save her from committing mistake, if at all his suspicion was true,  after all   she is a human being. But he was adamant on teaching her a lesson and ultimate  separation.  “Supposing for a minute, your own son commits the same mistake  which  your wife has committed/ going to commit, what will you do” I asked.  

“I will  convince him, cajole  him, coax him. Besides she cannot be compared to my son, he is of tender age and she is 40 years old” and he told  hundreds of other excuses to save his son.
