Mangalore: Journalist, Newly-married Girlfriend End Life near Suratkal Lighthouse

Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (MM/SP)

Mangalore, Dec 12: A promising young journalist committed suicide along with his recently-married girlfriend on the Suratkal beach near the lighthouse late night on Thursday December 11. Their bodies were found at the spot on Friday December 12.

The deceased have been identified as Yogish Talakala (28) and Jayashree (25), residents of Bajpe.

Sources claim that the duo loved each other since the last several months. But Jayashrees’ parents were strongly opposed to this relationship and they pressurized her into marrying another person of their choice. Accordingly, her marriage was held on the Wednesday December 3.

Jayashree continued to be in touch with Yogish, even after her marriage. Finally Yogish and Jayashree committed suicide by consuming poison near the Suratkal lighthouse late night on Thursday. Suratkal police have registered a case.

Yogish Talakala was identified as one of the promising journalists of the district. He was serving as a sub-editor for the city-based ‘Jaya Kirana’ Kannada evening newspaper and functioned also as a reporter for ‘Prajavani’ Kannada daily from Bajpe.

He was also recognized as a skilled Yakshagana artiste. He has written scripts for many Yakshagana episodes and also served as ‘Bhagavata’ at Yakshagana performances.

    Parents should not have interfered. They shouldn't have killed themselves, but moved to another city to keep away from everybody. It is tragic to read such a story. May their souls rest in peace.

    Very unfortunate indeed! This certainly is not the way they should have snuffed out their lives - this could have been avoided., unless they were made scapegoats of our lethargic system. Being literate themselves, a dialogue should have been expedited in having this amicably sorted out between both the parties (or by their concerned parents / relations), unless the fact that they had already experienced obstacles earlier and very well knew that this wouldn’t work out in their favour. This apathy is due to the glorification of mass media, films, trend (which we have forcibly forced upon ourselves), and we have ourselves to blame. Very often, we always hear that one should adhere to the instructions of their parents since they are a beacon-of-inspiration and they know what is best for their children, since they are more experienced than us and have seen the struggles of life. It’s easy to preach at a later period of time (as in this case) that if they were the parents, they would have given up to the demands of their children. After all five fingers are not the same. Furthermore, one should also project themselves that if they happened to be the parents of such children in-the-near-future, would they have easily acceded to the demands of their children, or they too would've been aggressive as in the above case. A counseling / fact finding study from the authorised Govt. nominated NGO bodies should be undertaken to arrive to a satisfactory conclusion so as to avoid such recurrences in-the-near-future. At the time of writing this, I shudder to think how many more Yogish and Jayashree’s will meet / have met with the same fate. Alas, this is the real twist of life.

    Marriage is a personal choice. Girish and Jayashree should have got married even if there was a force from family. At least they could have lived their life. Matured love does not fail. Unfortunately few parents  understand love and force children for their own choice.May their souls rest in peace.

    Very tragic. Parents of these children or any parent should think before making any decision. In this modern educated world children are in a position to make the right decision about their life partner. Society need to change.
