I felt nothing at the moment when the news
broke out about your alleged suicide. Later I was angry because you took such an
extreme step. On second day I felt bad and low;not for you; but for the ones you
left behind, Your Children! I know how it feels to be left behind all of a sudden.
People will forget you soon. It’s the
truth! You will be replaced by somebody as humans got the short memory. At the
same time life will move on. It has to!
Your life story says you were strong, your
leadership showed you were capable. You could well gel up and connect with any
person you met. You were loved equally by
all. You started to inspire them to dream.Your life itself was an inspiration to
millions heart. You were truly People’s Chief Minister!
Such act, they say, is an act of a coward
but somewhere I don’t agree. It takes hell of courage to take one’s own life.
Yet I don’t support the act.
You had been a parent less and an orphan. You knew
what a life of an orphan is. You knew
everything!Your parents must have not wanted you to be an orphan. They must
have died due to some illness or may be due to lack of timely medical treatment.
You became a fatherless and orphan which was not in your hand.
But what did you do to your children? Ironically,
you decided making them fatherless; which they never deserve. It’s an injustice
to their life.They are too small to understand the complexities of life; way of
the world. Had you died in an accident or after prolong illness, matter would
have been different! Children you left behind will never be able to come with
term of your act. The scar you engraved in their hearts will never heal. At
personal level you put a void in your children’s hearts and life. At the same
time you have orphaned the entire community of yours too.
Life will be same for us after sometime.
You will be forgotten for sure. You were
strong, you were intelligent,
you were humane, you
were inspiring but unfortunately you were indecisive
in the last moment of your life making your innocent
children fatherless.
They say you were in grip of excessive
depression. Everyone would have gone through the same phase in such situation.
Know knot what was going through in your mind and what compelled you to say quit.
May be no one understood you. You quit but at the same time you took away
something from everyone’s life. You took away ray of hope from them. You took
away little bit of their dream from them!
