~ Sorry Papa...~

 “Sorry Papa..” these words are piercing to the ears when you hear it, when you get to know or read in newspapers or News that some young soul ended his/ her life for simply not getting into IIT or not clearing NEET exam – Is getting into IIT  or clearing NEET is the soul purpose of life I ask? There are billions of souls who are not engineers or Doctors and they own best of engineering companies and also have their own hospitals – In other sense these students have been pressurised to achieve the impossible many a time, The result “Suicide”!!!

Confined to a small room and riding on high spirits to either preform or perish – there is no other way out, students are left with no other option but to do the ultimate – they don’t give life another chance, it is here where spiritual education can be of immense help as it can be panacea of all negative thoughts.

No school or college teaches its student to absorb failure in life – “What if you fail?” , teachers should ask their students. By probability theory every action has 50% chance of success and failure and nothing is certain in this uncertain world. It is here that parents and teachers fail to assimilate a holistic touch to young minds – “You are born to be an engineer from IIT “or “Crack the NEET and secure a position and be a Doctor of reputation” , nothing wrong in these objectives but WHAT IF NOT – is it the end of your living, nobody has a real plan B to entertain our lives and continue with the scars of “failures” which the society will see us with.

Students are prudent enough to be taught an alternative to these failures resulting in the cult of suicides, there has to be an alternative teaching – a profound class to start with is to teach these minds that Human birth is exceptional and on top of the value change - its life, failures will happen but still be bold to keep walking - you have to tread the path for which you were born and it is individual struggle that one has to live for... no one is going to remember for your suicide as you will certainly stamp yourself to be a failures BUT not doing so , who knows you become the next Startup boss or a achieve something substantial in life... 

I still remember my SSB interview for the esteemed Indian Army – on the last day a colonel rank officer came and declared the result – my entire batch was a “Washout” batch, as they call it – to my surprise, many of my new found colleagues started to weep profoundly as if there was no life left 😊 – I was surely disappointed but not at the stretch of a weep and crying like a baby – life surely had to offer me other opportunities which I can be successful in – which indeed I got – the best part was when I cleared my written of Combined Defense Services Exam and again got a call for Bhopal interview board, I had already secured a seat in MBA course which eventually I went into… life surely had given me a suitable alternative – what if I am not serving our esteemed Army but I am contributing in an equally effective way by being a law abiding citizen paying monthly taxes and following rules and regulation….  😊 ..for me it is same as serving my country! 

It feels bad and heartbroken that for life’s nitty gritty, one loses hope and takes the route of ending one’s life – never ever thinking what effort one’s parents, family members and friends might have gone through, raising you to this level and what will happen to them afterwards…

By endings one’s life, you have stopped the probability of a better one altogether, there will be no 50% better opportunity coming your way now as you lost hope after living and experiencing the toughest 50% - always remember there is always a second chance to stand up and start running…. As all you need is to be on the cricket pitch and wait for that loose ball and hit it for a six!....
