My name is Shiva.
Age 28.
It is very easy to advise others...
But you will feel the real pain when the thought hits you in mind.
I was also hit by "the thought"
the "Thought of Suicide"...
One phone call from Preethi and I am in my own world..
I have a bad reputation of holding up elevators because of this..
Shiva: That's surprising..An early morning phone call from you ?
Preethi: I have told my sister about our love...
Shiva: Wow! Really?! Seems you got a sudden boost of confidence :)?
Preethi: Yes, yes.
Shiva: I am really happy. So what did your California sister say ?
Preethi: Oh, dont ask that :(...She went crazy on me and scolded me.
Shiva: Oh..Let's discuss this in detail this evening. Got a 9:30 meeting to run to.
Preethi: Ok. Bye.
Shiva: Hi, Divyangi
Shiva: I understand.
Divyangi: Dad will never accept a south Indian and this is against our society.
Shiva: I understand that our inter-religion love will not be easily accepted in our society.
Shiva: Thats your choice. I cannot change my life for the society.
Shiva: Wow, that sounds funny.
Shiva: I don't need your certification.
[ Her family did not accept our love ]
Preethi: You said you will wait a little more ?
Shiva: YES, I DID.
Preethi: Then, why?
Shiva: I told that we can wait only a year.
Preethi: Be more patient Shiva.
Shiva: I cannot wait any longer.
Preethi: Please listen to me..
Shiva: No, just hangup the phone.
Preethi: I have told about our love, to my dad.
Shiva: Oh, did you? What was his reaction?
Preethi: I am driving..Let me call you back...
Shiva: Hey...What did he say..hello? hello?
Shiva: Aw, why is she calling me?
Shiva: Did I not ask you to stop calling me ?
Divyangi: Preethi met with an accident
Shiva: Come'on,it was just a casual coffee and she was my colleague..
At this rate you will win the most possessive girl award...
Woa..Did she really cut the call ?!
Shiva: OK...I will even give up coffee completely...
Preethi: Yea right, like I believe you.. :)
Preethi: Oh..So, the gift arrived?
Shiva: Wow, 7D..This was my dream camera!!
I just wish you were here to pose for a super snap
Preethi: I am ready :)
[Many months passed by, but I could not erase memories of Preethi]
[I knew that death was closing in on me ]
Shiva: Hi Mom..
Mom: Why haven't you called for a long time? How is your health ?
Shiva: I am good..How are you ?
Mom: Actually, bad things are happening here..You remember our neighbour Thangaiya's son ?
He failed in his high school exams and so committed suicide..
Its so sad.. His parents are in uncontrollable grief...
It pains me to even look at them..
He was 17yrs old...Could he not think about his mother before killing himself ?
Even though he was well-educated, he commited suicide... I am just losing sleep over the sorrowful sate of his parents..
Shiva: Ok Ma..I understand..You please don't get affected by this..Go and try to take rest. I will call you tomorrow.
[ My mom's phone call at that crucial moment killed my Suicidal Thought...]
[But not everyone may get such a chance ..]
Passerby: Dude..I lost my job...
I don't know how I will return to India and face my family..
Yes, I just feel like dying now...
Shiva: Hi, I am Shiva.
