DECONSTRUCTING SELF

Well dis one had me hooked big time...i've been drawn to post on it ..finally i manage to translate my bewildering thoughts into words..just before our end sems woke us from our deep slumber..a news did the rounds ..One of our senior mam committed suicide..another one..majority of us thought..its really becoming a norm in our college..Not a single academic year goes by without one.Rumours flied high and large,causes attributed ranging from absurd to hanging on the edge of reasoning..in between i was lured into reflection (introspection is becoming my singular trait these days..) What is that feeling that incites a person to severe the umbilical cord of life in one go..to let go of as precious a gift as LIFE ..i for one fail to see da reasoning.. is it a malady or a debilitating state of mind or a moment of madness?? take your pick..
Life's indeed priceless..we don't need a socrates or martin luther to tell us that..some of us have lived it to the fullest ,others not so.. while some have felt let down..but they still cherish it ..because a fact can't be argued..that it remains and will remain the greatest gift to mankind (rhetorics apart) Why is it then that out of all paths..the most precarious is selected?? depression is often the most common reason ascribed to it.. peer pressures /unimaginable stress/heartbreak being the others..But if u manage to survive these 'oh-so-banal comments' from 'i-know-better' psychologists and NGO's a far clearer picture comes out ..suicidal tendency is a state of rashness,a point in time of anxiety..a melancholic framework...they feel their backs against the walls....In their distressed composure they find all the doors shut ..which in reality are just closed not padlocked..some furious shoulder pushes can easily deal with the door..the point being that a little effort on their side and a greater part on their well-wishers can avert the worst-case-scenario..Counseling has emerged as a wonderful solution ..mitigating these cases almost by half..but there's a catch..there is a famous 'kahawat' in Hindi..pyasa kue ke paas jaata hai,kua pyaase ke paas nahi..Aptly put its not within the counselor's capability to harness cases looking for them door-to-door..
Whether its a sophomore or a graduate the worst affected remains the parents..they are like two gardeners who have nourished a peepal all their lives and one fine day find it gnashed,sliced,grounded to dust..lying prostrate ....All their efforts have been blown away to nothing in one moment of misfortune..juz a little consideration on the part of their juvenile would have saved the needful..but all's lost ,feelings smitten,bodies enervated for ever!!
Ups-n-downs are part of life..struggle and upheavals make life worth living..Sometimes struggle are exactly what we need in life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles,we would be crippled.Give every opportunity a chance,leave no room for regrets." My appeal to everyone out there ..think once,think twice,think thrice,think as many times as you like,but think for the heck of it before kicking the bucket..there r no shortcuts to life..

P.S.: i ought to do something about these contemplative moods of mine..watsay??
