    Bad news. Suicide is not a solution. But I wont understand who is the one recorded the incident on his mobile. Instead of the time spent on recording, the boy could have been saved.

    It is hard .parents have lost now their young son .Heartfelt sympathy to the family.It is said he was having some depression since some time.When such signs are noted from parents ,adviceable to take some time for them go to a specialsit,take time to talk to him what him troubles etc.was it studies too hard ,or any love affair,troubles from students etc.Make them to feel that they care.Sometimes it helps.sometimes not.Many parents insists on engineering or medicine which students are not able to take up and then they fall in a situation not know how to tell parents.sad May his soul rest in peace.

    I remember one of my relative wanted to put her son one of the famouse Eng. College in Bombay and I was working in that instituition and paying few lakhs if needed. Unfortunately this boy with that pressure could secure 50% marks. Later, he graduated from college with a degree and he is the marketing manager and doing great.
    Just because we, parents had hard time and we could not go college or we were not able to go particular college/school. Without a college education we have made money and now we want and force our kids to do what we have not done or achieved. That is why nowadays kids suffer. If they have real talent of studying even a cobler or barber's child will become a doctor, engineer, commissioner with his own ability, Parents should evaluate and guide his child and not force on them.
    I think most of our commentator's parents might not had a basic education and still their children got education and made money in due course, same way our children will do the same thing.
    Money cane be made/earned any stages of life but life you can not lose on one's stupidity.

    I met one boy who failed in Engineering first year and then went to ITI .He said he is in 2 nd semester already got campus placement with initial salary of RS 15000
    It's not much use dong Engineering and putting so much time Energy and money
    Worst thing is parental pressure to perform

    Whatever may be the reason, the parents lost a son who has been taken care of for 20 years. It is really sad.

    As per recent reports there are more than 1 and half lakh engineering graduates unemployed in India.
    Our present central government has not created avenues for employment except creation of jobs in gau-rakha, hooligans, deathbrigades and lyniching kingpins.
    Only talk and talk and no actions for the unemployed.
    He may not have seen any improvement in employment opportunities even after studying engineering.
    Unless there are drastic steps taken for employment, they will follow same steps taken by farmers.
    RIP guruprasad.

    RIP. really really sad.
    who know what is the actual reason? some possibilities: parents expecting good life of their son and enrolled him to engineering and he could not cope with studies, love: less probability and there may be more possibilities. Also, there may be a possibility of accident or murder who knows???

    I understand the situation of his family but can't think of stopping these incidents in future? The experts to guide.

    Guruprasad, may your soul RIP. Suicide was not a solution to your depression in life. May God give peace and consolation to your loved ones. Some of the comments made by readers are not at all worth at this time when a young man has died and the father and other loved ones are depressed. Right now, nobody knows the cause of his suicide.

    If Love failure why to throw away ones life.
    Let one love go but next love will replace. Unitil then live life with pride.
    "Guruprasad was going through depression since several days" and the parents could have understood this and should have tried to support and console him to come out of killer stress. Too late regret.

    Once the children grown up then we should not compel them to do things those are they do not like. Parents always think and do good to their children but children are not accepting at that age.

    I agree with your comment Prabhuji... Now a days majority parents force their children to take up either engineering or medicine..whether children are interested to study those subjects or not. Some find them very hard even if they scored well in SSLC or PUC. So sad.

    Anyway, let's pray for his departed soul..depression is really dangerous.

    May your soul rest in peace dear Guruprasad... Condolences to the bereaved family
