After getting separated from Catherine I always felt lonely, and it is a crushing feeling. Life teaches us many lessons - and we may feel lonely even if we are massively busy and surrounded by people.

I am busy from morning till night due to my business activities - I have business establishments in several countries and earning millions every month. Still life seems difficult without Catherine. Although money can't buy back Catherine or happiness yet it is a necessary evil to keep you going powerfully. Otherwise the same people who snatched Catherine from me might have crushed me easily.

In spite of being busy I do spare some time to write or read something - a habit instilled in me by Catherine. Once she called as from someone she had come to know about my new habit of heavy drinking. I was drinking to forget the pain of her separation. She said: “If you really love me then never drink. This habit will ruin you. And if you ruin yourself I will be dead. If you want to see me alive keep yourself rising more and more. And develop a habit for reading and writing, it will soothe your tired nerves."

Immediately after the call I threw away all the bottles of whisky, drove to the best book shop, spent two hours there, and came back in my Lexus filled with all sorts of books.
