A boy named Siddhant of my school is missing since the day 12th Board Result came out. He got a 58%. He went that morning to the school to check his result and never returned back. The only son of the family that lies in brokenness and trauma. No one knows where he is. Alive or dead !! The police has not found his body yet, and there have been no ransom calls...Siddhant according to his parents was a strong boy with a strong will power, then what happened I wonder... Even i think with the writer what makes people take such steps? Is life so cheap? Suicide is SELFISH more than anything else! "There definitely is life beyond temporary shattering of dreams and broken relationships. THERE IS A LIFE BEYOND FAILURES!!!"

I did never stop anyone from committing suicide but i do realise that henceforth romance seems to mean nothing to me.Till now i used to only survive after being jilted.I have slowly started living but what i have lost is forever lurking as a shadow on my happiness.It keeps on haunting me.It reflects in this poem by Mainak Dhar.. Cast away, spiralling down, flapping wings that have been shorn. What was yours original sin? or did you just dare look within? Beyond the façade they made meant to be blindly obeyed. And where those really wings of flight or just fetters to bind you tight? i too tried to commit suicide due to similar reasons and i have still not completely come out of it.My family has pulled me through and today i live for them in a debt of love.

Cast away, spiralling down,
flapping wings that have been shorn.
What was yours original sin?
or did you just dare look within?

Beyond the façade they made
meant to be blindly obeyed.

And where those really wings of flight
or just fetters to bind you tight?

The Bible proves there is a life beyond our failures also.

Many people have before-time anchored their life boat on the so called shore of relationship, education, addiction etc. But when their bright hope sets down, the tide rises and dashes against the shore, challenging the strength of the anchor. Which then falls-apart, as a pyramid of cards. This article challenges us to remember where & on whom we anchor our life boats on. Well written bro.

I think people also have a concept of "rebirth" on their minds and think that things will get better in the next life and take a fateful decission as this. My heart gets heavy when i think of their family members whom they've left in a much bitter situation. All my prayers with them. one of my brother’s batchmate commited suicide recently in B’lore for the same reason.
