Hey reader,

It’s been quite some time since I have written something. To be honest, I wanted to write, something that anyone could relate to, something that one could feel connected to, but was completely out of topics. Today morning, I asked my two amazing friends to suggest some and I got a few interesting ones as well, but then something happened.

Something similar that happened on 20th July with Chester Bennington. Something similar that happened on 14th June with Sushant Singh Rajput. Something similar that happened a few days back with one of my colleague’s roommate, a suicide. A 29-year-old  boy took the hardest decision of life, incorrectly, and took his life. I do have got news of what and how he did it in my ears and trying to flush it out of my mind, so definitely not going to tell about that. This was not any dumb or irresponsible person. This is someone who had been my neighbour for years, someone whom I played cricket with, and still remember his strange bowling action, someone who was great in studies (possibly one of the bright minds of the society), an engineer, with a good job. It seems everything fine from the outside, but still, he is not in this world anymore! Another Suicide!

There’s no other word than a WHY! Why is this thing happening again and again? Why every other day are we getting to hear such news? Why are we humans taking such a big step and courage to take our beautiful life and not able to have the courage and easier step to come upfront and talk? Why are failing in the basic element, to communicate and understand, of being a human? Why?

When I started this blog site, I had the only thing in mind, which I thought could be my purpose, to somehow give back my knowledge, learnings, success and failure stories, viewpoints and understandings back to the society. But today, I think there is something to add into that, to help those people who anytime in their life or at any point in their life had this thought of taking up this lovely life!

As I got this news, I went back straight to my those 2 amazing friends, and described what all happened! I asked them also, WHY? And I got this song, which does explain to some point, WHY. I would like to take your few minutes, to watch this song.

No, please no, if you are thinking to view it later, I request you to not read further. Please go and watch it, and you will thank me!

Now, when you have seen it, I know, what you are feeling. There is some consoling silence, something very unique, that we don’t feel often, sort of empty. This song touched every corner, from one’s finance, loneliness to the relationship, family to the friends, failure to the success, Bootcamp to the summit, and in the end, the eternal mother love!

I really am thankful for the most beloved thing in my life, my family, and my 2 amazing friends [Yes, Akshay and Prabhu, that’s you!] and my working aka life mentors [Mr. Sam Joseph and Mr Uttam Meena], who always taught me how to not take life over-seriously. The feeling of being contained in what all you have achieved, what all greeds you have to push away, and what all things you have to improve on, and understanding the importance of time, is somewhat I feel is missing.

You may turn your face around, and say that it is not the high time, but the reality is, it never will be. If one has to act on this issue, then its right now! I don’t believe that we have lost our emotions and care, though the timing we have lost it, and the care mostly arrives late, very late! Mostly, when such things happen, people reach out to the same INSTAGRAM asking people to come out and talk. To those people, if that person would really be able to decide this and have that senses in place of what is right and wrong and what can be the alternative, then they would have anyway avoided it. So asking them to come out and talk will never happen, at all! Then, what can you do? I can understand, that you want to help, to everyone out there who is going through some pain in their life, and fighting it. This is why, I say that we still have the care, love and emotions left in us. What we can improve is, timing! Rather, getting to know of it later, if we can preempt that event, if we can know of someone who is going through some hard patch of life and sounds different, we will be able to help them.

Friend, if you are in India, this is the first Sunday of August, the friendship day. If you really want to celebrate this day, I will request you, to rather asking people to come out and talk, you take a step, open the door with kindness, and ask! Call/meet/write to your friends today, know-how are they, what all is happening in their life, be a listener (and do not judge). If possible do it, and then nominate your those friends to do the same with their friends, and so on. In the end, you can write up a post if you are so much into social media, of how you felt talking to those friends, and then nominate them to do the same with their friends. A very small step to a better future.

There is one great knowledgeful post I found while going through social media, and this is the perfect place to have a look at it:

If something very least we can dream of in this beautiful world, we can dream of a world where no one does suicide! That is definitely in our hand, not to take such a step. This is what my dream will be and I will try my best to devote time to it. If you also want to join me in this purpose, please reach out to me. If you know me personally, you can call/text/WhatsApp/Email me. If not, you can connect me here:

Let’s create a better future and a beautiful world for our future generations!
