I just found out about the series. It's totally my cuppa tea, so I ended up buying it. I'm sure I won't regret it. 😃

Hey, they are actually making a movie on it. 😃😃😃

Well Blot ji if u r recommending me i would take it as a compliment too... Just that u will have too many competitors now 😛

Yeah... now this is subjective: How extreme is extreme?

One can never say... people are individualistic... they all have different threshholds...

BTW... the 4 people don't actually kill themseleves... They meet again on the high-rise on 14.02... exactly 6 weeks after they originally planned to kill themselves... see another guy who jumps down, and decide that they probably don't have "that" urge anymore...
Nobody kills temselves eventually... so any talk about who should/shouldn't kill him/herself is not really necessary... 😃

See, that can be used to justify any and all situations. Nobody would be wrong in the world, then. It would depend from person to person.

We do decide what our threshold is though. There are people who have everything in the world and yet continue to be unhappy and there are people who have nothing in the world and can still find happiness in the smallest of things. We are rather ungrateful, aren't we, in that case? We only remember God when things go our way but are rather resentful when they don't. I have found this to be a general trend, though. 😳😳

I feel sad for people who have to go that way. But I also think that it is their right to do with their lives, whatever they wish to. Mature adults are responsible for their acts, and I'd rather not sit on moral judgment over anybody. We can't measure the extent of anybody's grief, so if any of these 4 protagonists want to commit suicide, I'd hope that they don't, but beyond that if it were upto me, I'd not deny them their choice. 😃

@red: And Aladin ji, this is the irony of our existence... We must learn to be happier...
But I, for instance, pray mostly when I am in trouble (at least this is how it is lately)... People are like that... dukh mein sumiran sab karein, sukh mein kare na koi...

I was trying a new experimental method today... it hasn't worked... which means that I'll just have to struggle with the old stuff...
And then I am meeting an old friend for dinner this evening... We will be going to an Indian place (the first time in all these years!), so I'll only be back after a few hours... (I know Aladin ji will have to do other stuff, but hopefully someone will be around!)

When someone dies a natural death or wont kill themselves we accept that it was his/her fate. But when someone commits suicide they leave so many unanswered questions behind. People close to them think constantly not knowing what led to their death. Thats the most horrible feeling, not knowing if we did anything to motivate them and feeling guilty for things we are not even sure whether we are responsible

@book... Jess and her mom are having rows with each other for the same reason. Both of them were unable to deal with the unanswered questions that Jen left them after vanishing.
