Suicides

I am sorry, I am going to come across as terribly insensitive when I have said this but, what is all this fuss about? A celebrity was unable to cope with the pressures of the life he had chosen and gave up on living. I mean have you ever seen a rejected sportsperson commit suicide?
And the person in question here actually had a degree from a very prestigious institute and could have looked for another job, but he didn't.

 So my take on this is:

1- Nepotism is a fact in all walks of life.

2- A person who is suffering from Clinical Depression is a person who needs to be constantly monitored and a care-taker needs to be assigned, because patients of such depression always experiment with dosages and such. They also cease to take their medications.

3- Here it seems to have been the sister who was the designated care-taker, so why isn't she being questioned?

4- Also the doctor who was treating him said that SSR had discontinued his treatment. The correct protocol is to make sure that the patient is seeking help elsewhere and inform the care-taker. This also wasn't done.

5- Mahesh Bhatt's own daughter is suffering from Clinical Depression and with the family's support she is pulling on.

6- About Deepika's claims as to her own illness, I have doubts about the veracity of that.

7- See people like Catherine Zeta Jones, who have really done a lot for the management of this disease by sharing her own experience with the disease.

8- One of my best friends from childhood suffers from this and she is pulling along with the help of her loved ones.

9- For whatever reasons his family couldn't help him see this through. So why blame only one aspect of his life?

10- Also his own sister the one who was in the US had said that she was afraid he would do something like this.

So, maybe I have a hard heart, but I do know that when a person commits suicide it is because several things break and not just the one!

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...
Protests! Candle-light vigils! Banners! Placards! Demonstrations! Human Chains! We can do it all .... but the question is how often can we do it,and why should we have to do it at all? And why do we do it at all when our memories are so short! Here today ....And gone tomorrow seems to be the order of the day.But if this has genuinely sparked something inside us then we should keep that spark alive. We need to become a people that we can be proud of... Let us indeed protest....... but protest the indifference that has crept into our lives. Light a candle..... but do it to dispel the darkness that has engulfed our hearts. Wave a banner....... but let it carry a message of love for your close ones. Hold a placard....... but write appreciation on it for all that is good and pure. Demonstrate...... show that you care. Make human chains.... but a hold a hand to help someone,to console, to offer solace. Love and Peace
