"P is no more . He committed suicide yesterday !" was the content of the mail i got today morning with the subject 'Bad News'..
My reaction : What??
I wasn't sure whether i should post this or not ..
P was my classmate and a friend in B.Sc . A Formula One fanatic ...not the ones who would mingle with everyone but still a good company to be with ..I haven't know him very closely but as far as i have know him he wasn't a weak person . He was the moderator of our B.Sc Yahoo group ..a frequent awakener of the group when rest of us would be just waiting for somebody else to mail. During his elder's brother's marriage he fell in love with girl and got married to her last month on May 14th ..everything was just fine for him..or that is what it looked like..But yesterday he decided to put an end to his LIFE with just a not left behind saying "There is no motivation in life !" ..Everyone is left in shock and despair..
I have heard of so many suicide cases but never ever gave it thought as to why would anyone want to end his/her life . But now that someone i have known has done this , it has evolved a lot of questions in my mind. In most of the cases there are reasons ..'Love failure' ..'Failed in Exam' ..and many others. But in this case "No motivation in life" ? Was it the only reason ? There are so many questions unanswered ...What made him take such a decision? why didn't he tell his wife with whom he supposed to share everything ? Why didn't any of his friends knew ? What happens to his newly wedded wife ? Why did he do like that ? What about his parents ?
Life is so unpredictable ..Everyday is new beginning.. Problems are part of life but they shouldn't be reason to end your life !!!
May his soul rest in peace ..May god give his parents and his close ones all the strength to overcome this sadness..!!

Sorry for ur classmate Vidya. No motivation in life!!! Well, too sad to know that he found this single reason to die and not a single other reason to live. Too sad.
I now remember Jax's post on purpose of life. I remember telling him this...
Life is uncertain and this uncertainity of life and future is what makes life intersting and purposeful. When things uncover in your life in its own way, you may find the purpose of life. Take life as it comes.
Probably your classmate could have waited a bit more to find motivation. May his soul RIP.
I'm feeling pathetic for his wife.. I wish her all the strength to get through this...
People don't realize this in India + the social stigma is just too great, which is extremely unfortunate, because mental illness is biological in origin just like other illnesses. It is the number 1 cause of suicides. Mostly anxiety disorders like clinical depression. They sap the sufferers will to live. Its not even a question of their strenght or anything rational anymore, anxiety disorders make people suicidal.
