Betrayal.
It's the only thing I feel...sharp, unforgiving, consuming every part of me.
The man I once loved... No, the man I thought I loved.
He's the one who did this to me. How dare he do this?
Every memory, every touch, every whispered promise...

It was Monday. Start of the new week and here I'm at the front of the classroom, ready to dive into another lively session on Marketing Management.
The projector flickered to life, casting bright images of graphs and charts onto the whiteboard behind me.
Teaching was my favourite part of the job...interacting with students and helping them grasp complex concepts in a way that made them feel empowered.
The classroom was buzzing with energy, and I knew that today was going to be a good day.
I had just finished explaining the basics of market segmentation when the questions started pouring in.
Hands shot up all over the room as students sought clarity on different aspects of marketing.
Nisha, always quick with insightful questions, was the first to speak up.
"Mam, how do we create an effective marketing plan?" she asked, her pen poised over her notebook.
"An effective marketing plan starts with a clear understanding of your audience," I said, enjoying her enthusiasm. "You need to set specific goals, identify your target market, and craft a unique strategy that resonates with your brand. It's like building a bridge...you need a solid foundation before you can connect with your customers."
Reyansh, a student sitting a few rows back, leaned forward, curiosity all over his face. "But how do we determine the target market for our product?" he asked.
"Great question, Reyansh," I replied. "To find your target market, you have to analyze several factors. First, you look at demographics...things like age, gender, income, and education."
"You also consider psychographics, which involve people's values, interests, and lifestyles. And don't forget behavior...what do they buy, how often, and why? By combining these elements, you can build a clear profile of your ideal customer."
The questions kept coming, each one leading to deeper discussions about branding, consumer behavior, and competitive analysis.
It was the kind of class where the students drove the conversation, and I was there to guide them along the way.
Kitne pyaare bacche hai...
"Any more questions, guys?" I asked the class.
Jashan and his friends...the usual class clowns...decided it was the perfect time to change the mood with their usual antics.
Jashan raised his hand, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. I could tell something was about to happen.
"Yo, Mehar Madam, are you single?" he asked, causing the whole classroom to burst into laughter.
