Kamaljeet...Meeto
another person i used to know very very long back passed away last month.
and she too commited suicide...a very talented and bright girl and very beautiful and warm as is evident from her friend's tribute to her. she it seems was suffering from bi polar disorder.
and it made me think and feel responsible for the countless people around us who are suffering from many painful mental illnesses that go un noticed...more so in our country
and even those who care for the person concerned are sometimes not able to help the person because they don't know enough...
and when we try to push what could be depression (to be brave or even worse thinking about people's ridicule ) aren't we doing a grave injustice...
about meeto ...i didn't know her much...though she was a fairly important part of my childhood -then as she seemed to live a fairytale life as compared to us and some of us were very jealous of her...
but also in awe as she seemed to know so much more and all the teachers seemed to love her more...
if i may say so now and even if it doesn't make sense...i wish they had given you even more love and i hope the colours in your life were more brighter and warmer than i could have ever imagined...i am sure you deserved all that and more ...i am sure you meant a lot to your friends and i am sure you will always be that beautiful and smiling face in their heart and a part of their prayers and victories throughout their lives...

Isn't it strange tht most ppl who commit suicide - at least the ones we get to know of .. are often - the ones who seem successful n 'happy'. I have often wondered who are these ppl who commit suicide n how can they do it .. They don't even think abt their parents. Its not possible for everyone - to take this step no matter how disillusioned they feel. Though often its said - cowards resort to killing themselves but I feel it requires a strange kind of courage ..However nothing can justify a murder - n suicide too is a kind of murder ..
An acquaintance of mine had attempted suicide once .. n was saved. I asked him this question .. he said there is just tht one moment - when you completely forget all your loved ones - its overwhelming .. thts the only way he said he could describe tht moment when he did it .. but now after years of tht incident - hes happy tht hes still alive ..
