Avoidable Deaths

The macabre sight of the slippers along with the packed lunch boxes and the water bottle atop the 19th floor terrace from where Nidhi Gupta threw down her kids and jumped therein after was gory enough to melt even the stoniest hearts.
The little kids had no idea what destiny had in store for them when their own mother whom they had trusted so much had cut short their Journey of life which had just started to bloom, on his planet forever.
The deaths aroused sentiments from all over and the blame game shifted to the in laws whose behaviour might have provoked or instigated the hapless Nidhi Gupta into committing this act.
The father booked a complaint against the in-laws accusing them of torturing his daughter mentally over the past several years.
Despite knowing the family disputes and the husband’s callous attitude the girl’s family in order to save this marriage optimistically hoped for a better future.
This has been the bane of many Indian families which unfortunately culminates in such avoidable disasters.
Armed with a Professional degree Nidhi , who worked as a Professor in a College and could have easily managed out on her own coupled with the fact that her father too is extremely well off.
The Children would have grown up independent and confident in a different environment altogether and Nidhi could have managed everything by herself given the financial credentials and the academic qualifications she possessed.
It is very easy to write something about others whom we do not know personally , it is easy for us to comment sitting within 4 walls of a comfy room expressing our views, it is easy to be optimistic while lecturing others, it is easy to debate such incidences but it would be possibly very difficult to relive the ordeal experienced by Nidhi and her kids, maybe it was difficult to overcome the menacing wave of depression which had engulfed her but somewhere at the back of the mind I feel that she should have talked to her folks back home, charted out some way for her and the kids renounced her hubby along with his eccentric family considering her sound educational /financial background instead of resorting to such a ghastly act.
Whatever, but the little children did not deserve this gory end.
