It has been more than a week after my last post. I wanted to share a couple of things last week but due to one reason or another I couldn't post anything on the blog. Things are moving very slowly at my end. I haven't filled up any form, loads of backlog is still there and I am able to execute only a small part of my plans. The situation hasn't chaged much though I am trying to improve it.
Suicides have suddenly increased in the city. Last week a final year girl committed suicide after she messed up her one paper. 2 more deaths had occured only a few days ago before this unfortunate incident. The reason was same - unable to cope up with the pressure of studies. I have been bearing the stigma of failure for last more than 18 months. It becomes lot more tough to endure when you are the pride of your parents and have a image of a brilliant kid in the eyes of others. The girl who committed suicide belonged to this category and was about to get married. I can understand the trauma she had been going through but suicide is not the solution - at least for the family.
The role of the parents and other family members is paramount here. They along with the close friends are the support which can held a person while he is crumbling under pressure. A lot depends on that person too. He should trust his parents and not hide anything from them. Hiding the facts creates a sense of guilt and it is another catalyst in inducing the thought of suicide. In the end a person should try to comprehend the importance of his/her life and how devastating can the suicide be for their family.
Failure is like a prolonged illness. One feels like giving in often. But remember, if one doesn't fall ill, he/she won't understand and value the meaning of a healthy life. A success following a gigantic failure is the sweetest dish a person would ever taste.
