suicides


well.....u must be wondering y i chose this topic .......no ppl........i dont hav suicidal tendencies (sinan u bastard keep ur mouth shut!!)........but we all have out times wen the pressure gets too much n think of crazy things.......i read this article somewhere about suicides.....its inscribed in ma head forever.....i edited n made a few addtions to it n delivered it as a speech .......for our term work in comm. skills. that is!!!
here goes.....

Sometime back..am iitian commited suicide..ppl who commit suicides think that they have no future, but wait isnt iit one of the most prestigious institution in the world where every student dreams of going? y would a young student who has the world ahead of him do something like this? an the ans lies rite here..........

in our constant reference to the great institution[for i do believe iit s r great]..we for get the dark side...n the dark side is that iitian s r subjected to tremendous academic pressure...probably the highest in the world..i have two choices in front of me..i can go ranting abot the edu system an how it reqires changin or i can do sometin immediate,,,,,,,,try n prevent suicides.....for this lemme tel u wat a frnd of mine tol me who s an iit graduate earnin lik hel in the u.s rite now ....these wer his exact words.......
"" i was in the 9th std wen i first seriously contemplated suicide. i had done badly in ma half yearly chemistry exam . i was an iit aspirant n 72% was nower near an iit aspirant shud get...i had already decided to tak the drastic step..the only hurdle was method....

ironically chemistry offered a soln..i knew copper sulphate was both available easily at the local store an poisonous..i had it worked out.. ma rationale for killin maself was simple..nobody loved me my chem score was bad,n it wud mak no diff to the world if i wasnt der....

i didnt do it..n its funny y i didnt..on the day wen i was gonna do it..i noticed a street dog lyin on the road..nobody loved him, it wud mak no diff to the world if the dog wasnt der..i was pretty sure his chem would be awful..but he wasnt trottin off to the loacal store to buy copp sulphate..he was only interested in his next meal..n wen he was full, he lied in a corner wid one eye closed not carin a damn abt the world..if street dogs wernt givin up wtf was i rantin abt? i threw the copp sulphate in the waste bin.it was the best 40 bucks i ever wasted.........""

so y did i tell u all this? because sometimes the pressure gets too much..lik it did for the iitian..on the day he took that dreadful decision, his family n frnds wer shattered n india lost a bright wonderful child.. so next time u c a distressed young soul..lend a supportive non-judgemental ear..who knows u may be able to sav another bright future..because no matter how tough life gets hoe diff it seems, if street dogs dont giv up, therz no reason y we the smart ones shud..makes sense, right?.....
