She is alive, in our memories.
20 April’08
11:30AM…Forensic lecture gallery..
Was busy examining a skull–trying to identify the sex–when Tarun hurried to me. I looked at him..He was saying something to me.. but I wasn’t ready to believe it…I didn’t really know what was happening to me. The news was—
‘Sruthi hanged herself…she is no more’
… … … … …
Our theory exams had just come to an end. After a gap of 2 to 3 days, we started preparing for practicals.
Suddenly…
She left. And No.20 remains vacant, for ever.
I dont know much about Sruthi. Oh yes, I do remember those four hours with her in Manali(september last year when we were to attend PULSE at AIIMS). That day, we set out in search of an ATM..and ended up roaming in the shopping mall for about 4 hours, chatting all the time.
Have to admit that she is not a coward. Had she been a coward, she couldn’t have taken such a descision.
But,
why didn’t her courage make her fight her problem?
Why did it make her kill herself instead?
I dont understand.
Cant believe that she is no more. Dont even want to believe.
Yes
She is alive,afresh in our memories.

i’m sorry to hear about your classmate’s suicide… that’s a terrible way to die. i hope you and your classmates are able to cope…
Akhila:
We had to.
Our exams were just 2 days away…We could do nothing but put a halt bluntly to everything going on in our minds…

it feels sorry whenever a classmate dies,… however way it is … i know, …
i believe no one really wants to die, … it’s a decision taken out of a spurt, with no time to regret later. my philosophy says it’s an escapist tendency. what’s wrong in taking on the problem head on ? therein lies the real courage.
Akhila:
Right you are…

I don’t think it’s lack of courage.
You try to cope, all the time, but if your resources are lacking, and nothing changes, it gets you to a point when it’s just inevitable.
I had lost track of you and your blog, I hope you are doing well.
