That's why I blame the CVs for propagating the view that the person who committed suicide was a poor suffering soul and her spouse the evil villain.

The truth is that the whole family suffers when such a tragedy happens and to look at it so one dimensionally is to send a wrong message.

Hundreds of women deal with cheating husbands and live on bravely, with strength and courage.

Those who choose to take their own life do so as they are unable to face the pain, and need our sympathy and empathy, true, but they do so out of desperation.

But our shows do not handle this with the care it needs, the mother was good, she killed herself as her husband was bad - this is a very one dimensional presentation and not right

Suicide is definitely NOT the answer to problems that one may have in their lives...in fact more than resolving problems they create more especially for those that are left behind...As they say after every dark night there's a new day and if one helps themselves then problems CAN get resolved...
However, looking at the other side of the coin when people are in deep depression and have no mental stability then it drives them to do the unthinkable regardless of the consequences...we don't know what drives them but the human brain is the most complex organ in the body and there are factors in certain individuals related to the brain that push people to suicide...

Frankly, nothing.
But like someone here pointed out, had the person been in their right state of mind, I don't think he/she would commit suicide.We can make assumptions all we want but I guess still cannot fathom what's reeling in their minds at that weakest moment of their lives.
In SC's context, restating what I said in another post, I sincerely hope there's more to the story. A strong reason won't justify Saraswati's suicide but Laxminandan and Guman's affair is really a fickle reason.

I totally agree with you! One must not just think of escaping issues or depression via suicide! Because at the end of it all, your loved ones left behind suffer so much!

Recently a family friend of my parents committed suicide! Everyone is still struggling with it! It is so hard for the people left behind to cope with this reality!

I especially think that if you are a parent, then suicide should not be an option for you! You have to think of your kid / kids! What will become of them when your gone?? Especially a Mother!


Also, committing suicide because your spouse was unfaithful to you is such a cliche! So, will you make your child suffer coz you can't cope with your husband's unfaithfulness? What are you trying to say? That the pain your husband gave you is bigger than your love for your child??

As a Mother myself now, I can vouch for the fact that nothing is bigger than your love for your child! At least it should NOT be!


That is exactly what disturbs me. Being a mother your kid becomes your priority. Thats how its supposed to be.

Its truly sad when someone we know takes such a step. The child and the family endures so much.

I get your point but sometimes curcumstance don't let the person think about rights and wrong. And its not easy to hurt your own self. So, they who commite suicide can never be called Coward.

True.

This is the second time we've seen an unfaithful husband and the wife committing suicide.

No matter how much you suffer, suicide is not an option, especially not when you have a family behind you.

i exactly can understand dear what u want to say,like I can never think of such a thing :)

bt all ppl are not d same,u see Saras's mom was really introvert,she never shared her pain all she did is hoped that things will get better soon but when all her hopes were lost,she did it.there is NOTHING that can justify to end ur life,bt sometimes ppl loose their strength & courage
that's all .. she did it but it was not right & also that is bcoz of their that time mentality that ur husband is everything & she had no other place to go.just a poor one ...

Suicide is not justified and my guess is she did it for a very stupid reason.

Seek help, is all I wish.

I really wish there was something else to the story because no one seems to be blaming Laxminandan for this... even Vidyachatur and family have good relations with him. Wouldn't this fact been known?
I agree that she was ignored by her husband but that is not reason enough to end your life.

Suicide is not something I am willing to pontificate on ...esp in forum that tends to be frivolous...
so its with my better judgement at bay that i make this comment...

Ideally the saying suicide is not the answer ...there are better solutions will be the take...but i am not sure that a person driven this far...is looking for solutions...any more...

we are judging pain in a vaccum...and a pain most of us do not fathom...and simplifiying it way too much...

and as one of the commentors here rightly put..the one dimensional portrayal of this for the sake of drama ...is the one that needs to be questioned...

the other spectrum is mental health...a subject certainly too vast and painful for the arena
