When Bankers start reading hands...

I was having a conversation with my boss(actually my Boss's boss) about an important matter - a decision taken by me about my career. Somewhere in the middle of the conversation this happened:

"Show me your hand", he said.

"Are you a palmist too?" (He's a banker by profession)

"Your are not going to have a great career." (I looked at him in disbelief, after all I'm a pass-out from one of the top B-Schools of the country and have been a fairly good all-rounder.)

"k"

"But you are going to be rich... you'll have lots of cash" (Who wants to have a career if he can have the cash? After all, that would allow me to indulge in the various hobbies that I have - things that I like to do but I'm bad at(or well, not good enough) because of which I can't do them professionally - stuff like Art, Photography, Shayari(Style of Poetry somewhat similar to Haiku), Writing, Designing, Learning languages and musical instruments and so on...)

A smile had only begun to surface on my face when he said:

"It's going to be inherited."

******* didn't read my resume thoroughly enough.
