| | Phew !!

All that i can see on any major indian news portals are stories about the nafisa joseph suicide. Its really a very sad thing to happen and that too coming from a beautiful, intelligent, headstrong, career oriented woman. Someone who excelled in everything she tried, was she so weak to give it all up in that one moment? I still remember the time i saw her at the airport about 2 years back, she came across as a stunningly beautiful, confident and self assured girl. Bishop Cotton School, used to send one of the best teams for the BQC and i guess they won the contest 2 times, and being school captain there is no mean task.

Does being unlucky in love (4 times at that), or say failing in the board exams, or being unsuccessful at ur workplace be reason enough to drive you to a point where u can actually take your own life? I really wonder what a feeling that would be, when u can give up everything that you have done, everything that u ever stood for, everyone who ever cared for you- in one moment, just like that.

I guess ones own life has to be the single most precious thing for everyone, most of us can do anything or go to any extent to ensure safety to our lives. Attempted suicides is another thing altogether. Some ppl attempt that just as a way of attracting attention, altough deep down inside there is always the fear of death and its aftermath - so unlike what others say, she had to be really strong and bull headed to go ahead and actually take her own life.
