Question

Amar and Alok, two friends, set up a business venture together. Both invested a lot of money in the business and earned well. Then Alok wanted to diversify. He persuaded Amar to invest their profits in another venture. Amar wasn’t so sure but agreed after much persuasion by his friend. Unfortunately, the new business failed. After incurring very heavy losses, they poured in all the money. Within the space of a few years the two friends had gone from riches to rags. Amar, who had been persuaded to throw in his money, could never forget that the idea to invest came from Alok. He couldn’t forgive his friend’s lack of judgement, for he had never doubted it once. He was deeply shocked. After a few days, the shock turned to fury. He was sure his friend had betrayed him. So he was determined to take revenge. One day, he went quietly to Alok’s house and set it afire. There was nobody inside the house so no deaths occurred. But everything was burnt to a cinder. Alok was left with nothing. While running out of the house after setting it on fire, Amar had been spotted by Alok who was returning home. But he could never prove the fact. He too, burned with rage. Ad decided to take revenge his way. He set up a business on his own and made some money with it. And then he began systematically to destroy the business of the man who was his friend once. There were so many ways to do it- a few calls to the clients his friend had, a few nasty rumours. Because he was in a better position than Amar, he could do a lot of damage too. The other tried to follow his example but couldn’t- he was in too weak a position. It happened that in a few months Amar lost everything else too. He went to Alok's house for a compromise. But Alok, refused saying, "You will never forget what happened to your money and I'll never forget what happened to my house. There's really no way we could become friends again. For while people might learn to forgive after a while they can never forget the wrongs done to them."
