Pragati was a classmate in school and one of the best students in my batch.
Every teacher used to fawn on her.
In 2002, just before our Social Sciences board exam of class X, she took her own life.
She was in depression.
Every now and then I'm reminded of her.
People commit suicide when they are left with no hope, and death seems the only way out. Taking your own life seems to be better than any other option. It's strange. ANY other option!!
Many people call them cowards. I don't think so. It's not the bravest thing to do, true. But it's nigh impossible to put oneself in the shoes of the person who goes through that pain.
