just heard about a friend and old colleague's suicide yesterday...
she was just in her late 20's...
made me remember about a poster we had created for a mental health exhibition a decade ago... to create awareness about suicide.
it was a blank poster, with just a line below
all the people who came for that exhibition would curiously check that line below, since a blank poster doesn't make sense..
that line was, "the artist who was supposed to paint here committed suicide... what a waste".
...........it may sound bit insensitive... but the idea was to give a shocking input about what a suicidal impulse can do, and how important availability of mental health services are.
right now, after hearing about this suicide, typical questions arise, 'why did she do such an extreme step? how could she do such a thing? etc. etc.
she was a wonderful human being, and may her rest in peace.
