Dear mom and dad, best regards. You both were shocked to see my letter. You must be thinking that everyday talks happen on mobile, then why this letter *? I get emotional while speaking and may not be able to express myself properly so I am writing this letter. 

I am very upset since this morning. This question is arising again and again in the mind, why do children take such a drastic step like suicide? Today a student taking coaching from IIT took his own life. Don't know under what pressure he must have been. 

I don't know, the fear of failing, the fear of not being able to live up to the ambitions. Maybe it is not the subject of his choice which he chose just because nowadays there are more chances of a job with a good package in this line. For some time I have been seeing, such incidents increasing day by day. 

For a generation that has thousands of career options available, schools are providing more facilities for them than their capacity, then what happens that they are forced to take such a suicidal step? I am fortunate to have such intelligent parents like you. 

Today I am standing with the flight of my dreams, it was possible only because of your cooperation, otherwise, I could have been too….

I still remember that after the 10th result, the discussion started in the house that what subject should be taken in the eleventh. I got very good marks, so everyone had to say that I should take science subject. I knew that both you and your grandmother wanted me to become a doctor, although there was never any pressure from your side. I was not interested in science at all. This topic seemed dry and dull to me from the beginning. I loved drawing from the very beginning. I also got many prizes in the painting competitions held in the school. But in the eleventh it can be taken as an optional subject, we never thought about it. Like all my classmates, I also felt that a career can be made only by taking science. So I started attending coaching classes by taking science stream. Going to school in the morning, coming from school and having lunch - the auto would come and stand outside to go to the coaching institute and after coming from there for dinner and after that the homework of the school and solving the problem sheet from the coaching. Life had become a machine.
