Did you know that our brain has as many neurons as the number of stars in the galaxy? (We carry a small galaxy in our brain!!)
Did you know that a million thoughts pass through our brains each day and that 80% of the thoughts are same as those we thought yesterday?
Did you know that Schizophrenia affects about 1 out of every 100 people?
Did you know… Ok ok chill, I’m not here to share my gyaan on the human neural system. I’m here to share some of the thoughts that are going through my mind these past few days, though a little late to post or say anything about them. Anyway…quickkkly (that’s how someone I know says it)…
1. Class 8 student commits suicide because the principal canes him. This did not digest well with me. Coz I am from that age where caning was considered a normal and everyday affair in schools. We were all caned (yes, even a good girl like me ;) ) and we are all still alive. The thought of suicide NEVER crossed our minds perhaps because we never really cared. But what is worse about this incident is that the news channels are making a criminal of the principal. Is the principal the only one to blame? Should he be blamed at all? The parents are not questioned and neither is the mental condition of the boy. I mean did he think he was going to make the school and/or the principal “pay” for caning him by committing suicide? Was he thinking of what happened in the Ruchika case and hoping his death too would work out like that? I mean, come on, suicide? For caning? Where is the generation headed?
2. Top model Viveka Babaji commits suicide. The family claims that she was promised by her boyfriend to get married but he denies it. It is also said that she tried committing suicide before. If yes why did the family or her boyfriend not ask her to take medical help? If she was perfectly fine what made her take this drastic step?
So whats common in these two stories? No points for saying “suicide”. God knows what goes on in the minds of suicidal people. What is so bad in life that one has to kill oneself? For all those with suicidal tendencies, I request you to talk to your close friend(s) and/or family member(s). If that is not helping, please take medical help. And if, for whatever reason you do have to commit suicide, please write a neat note (email as well, if needed) to all your family and close friends and then do whatever you want to do. You may have died, leaving a void in the lives of your loved ones, you have no idea how tormenting the departments investigating your suicide will be to them. Worse than that are the news channels who will kill them multiple times when alive. And us viewers lose some hair pulling it out and cursing the news reporters. So do all of us one last favor – write a note. Thank You.
