Though there was a staff of five hundred working under him, it was not enough to wish Jay Bera on this 35th birthday. No one wished him on his birthday. Nobody knew. He lived and breathed computer programs and had no time to make friends. He looked much beyond his 35 years – blurred vision, dark circles under his eyes, dull-pink spots on his cheeks and so on. Though his breakthrough work changed the industry for the better and for all time, in the mad rush to succeed, he left his family behind. His wife tried to tell him, "They don't want you. They want your ideas!"

He didn't get it, "You don't know how big it can get."

"I don't want to know, and I don't care!"

They split.

As it got bigger, it was not what his kids were looking for, "We don't want your money, we want your love!"

They were estranged.
