    Very Sad, May his soul RIP. I believe this is because of our toxic culture. We compare our lives with others and with social media, it's worst.

    It is important to approach the issue of suicide with compassion and understanding. Addressing mental health concerns, raising awareness, promoting access to mental health services, and reducing stigma associated with seeking help are crucial steps towards preventing suicide across all religious and ethnic groups(Specially Hindus) in India.

    I feel very sorry for this young man and the many young men and women who are struggling to find work and earn a living. Our government and leaders are only giving false promises and assurances at the time of elections and once they are elected all what they said is forgotten. R.I.P Nagaraja.

    He could have atleast gone to muslim lands like Gulf or Malaysia and taken a basic job in construction or hotel industry...India too much of competition even for basic job.

    I see myself in him. Though suicide is not a solution such people tend to do so. Infact there should be good counselling centres to educate and guide them.

    Anonymous manglore ,can understand your problem But as you said yourself suicide also is not a answer.It worstens the problem still further may be not one suffers but also the the who gave you education and hoped to be a good citizen .Your parents :Dont let them down .Even you are a graduate ,just try even for small jobs instead of waiting big one .one day certainly you will get one or try to move to other places.not sticking to one .Only dont fall into people who promise job and ask money before you get one job.Wish you good luck.May I ask what you have studied or done?

    We must remember that if we are sincere and hard working we can earn our living. May be less or more. We can create jog for ourselves. We should not think that we should get a job suitable for our qualification. Sometimes we will get a job which may be lower compared to the qualification we have. We have to take it up initially and then try for a better one. Dignity is there for any work if we are sincere.

    RIP!! Youngsters today have high expectations after graduation; the idea is to take whatever good job you get to start with, be it in a mall or salesman; over a period of time things will fall in place automatically; but if your own reservations and age passes then it becomes very difficult; ideally one should catch a job within 3-6 months of completion of studies! BTW, it looks impossible that he wouldn't have got an offer till so long, looking at his physical personality!!

    Youths must be counselled, taught and groomed to think about secular credentials of REAL Hinduism to beat the stress & social stigma.. Life is challenging ... whether one has job or not.., but the toxic content/info are damaging the young generations of Hindustan now a days., Now a days the mainline & social media is selling only toxic & hatred news, which young mind is not suppose to be fed with.
