RIP little soldier

Terrible, just terrible.

I wish I could make him proud. He trusted me a lot. I broke that trust. Now he'll never trust me again. I wish I never gave him so many expectations.

[Murali]

That's the wish of every child from a middle-class family.

Papa is my biggest supporter, but I never managed to make him proud. He doesn't show it, but I know he cries seeing my condition after this terrible drop year. I swear I won't die until I make him proud.

[Lokesh]

My mom said to my face that if I can't do something or I fail, I should just die, because a dead son is better than a failed son.

I'm not being insensitive, but why do people sacrifice themselves for clueless friends? Think about your own parents—they raised you, fed you, made you who you are. If you can't accept that, you're worse than scum.

[Kartik]

He wasn't a failure; his parents were.

My dad hasn't spoken to me since the results came out. I just wanted to make him proud, but maybe my fear of failure was stronger. I really gave it my all for 3 years. I still forget a lot— even after revising I missed named reactions and coordinate geometry formulas. Physics was my strong suit, which the results showed. I don't want to waste my dad's money any more, so I quit coaching after 5 months because I couldn't follow. I bought a PW batch, but their constant jokes broke my momentum (not throwing shade). I was studying up to 12 hours a day, yet exams terrified me. I can solve questions calmly with near-perfect accuracy, but the time pressure and the "JEE fail, life over" mindset crushed me. I gave up all my hobbies—photography, cinematography (I made two short films for school about Nelson Mandela and the life of a French peasant in 1780-1800), writing screenplays, stories, poems, giving speeches, etc. Maybe someday I'll make my parents proud.

My mum said last year when I failed NEET, if you want to die just do it - we'll be sad for a day and then forget everything the next day. Fuck her.
