I met Bhairavi recently, when I was invited to attend a corporate event she had organised. We spoke for a few brief moments, exchanged cards, and promised to catch up for a longer chat sometime later. In the rush of things, it slipped my mind to get in touch with her and I was surprised when, a few months later, I received a call from her asking for financial advice.
Bhairavi had recently signed her divorce papers and walked out of a decade-long marriage along with her five-year-old son. The transition was extremely tough for both the mother and son – the legal battle had drained them completely. As for Bhairavi, she had to think about finances independently for the first time. While she had managed the budgets for large events effortlessly for years, she was completely overwhelmed by the thought that she had to single-handedly secure her own future as well as her son’s.
