DON’T FORGET TO LIVE, EK HI ZINDAGI HAIN: IITian SUICIDE NOTE


A student of the elite Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) committed suicide earlier this week, but not before sending out a stark warning to his friends about life in the IT sector.
“IT me kaam karte karte apni life matt bhul jana. Live a little everyday. Ek hi zindagi mili hain (Don’t forget your life working in IT…There’s only one life),” Mark Andrew Charles wrote in the letter.
Andrew mentioned names of some of his friends in the note recalling his association with them, police said. Charles, a twenty-year-old masters student of design, hanged himself in his hostel room on the campus in Hyderabad, the police said on July 2. "I never thought I would end up letting all of you down. Do not miss me. I don't deserve it I am not worthy. Just know that I love you all back just the way you did because that is what friends do right? And also I am not doing this because I am sad now..." Police said he expressed regret to his parents for not being able to do justice to all their sacrifices. "Thank you for being the best parents... I am sorry I turned out to be such a waste," he said in the suicide note. IIT-Hyderabad condoled the death of its student. "This is indeed an irreparable loss to the institute and the family. May his soul rest in peace," the institution said. A case has been registered, police said, adding that the body was shifted to a government hospital for autopsy.On January 31 this year, M.Anirudh, a third-year student of Mechanical and Aerospace engineering, committed suicide by jumping from the hostel building.
