Yesterday, a fourth year student, Shailesh hung himself to death. Why, only because he got a 'F' in a course he was doing for the third time. It is the second incident of suicide in the past 5 months.

I do not understand how one can be so sensitive on one hand and one can be so heartless on the other. It is such an acute feelign of uncomfort that it fills the whole heart with paina and distress.

I don't know whether he did was right or wrong but definitely, the system has many flaws. I agree we got to excel but see studying to become a database is not the thing which should be envisaged from us. The faculty here behaves as if we are all thieves, we are useless. No one tries to understand us and motivate.

The faculty should enthuse a spirit in the students so that we get interested. Although, we should also be responsible but I think they have to play a big role. Faculty here teaches as if they have only one job- to distribute grades, exactly in the same way as a vendor sells vegetables in the market. It is such a bad situation that we can't help.

Students are so naive and soft when they come here but in the end what they become- negligent to studies, hard-hearted and merely a database kind of thing. Why?? was this the purpose to come to IIT? These three magic words transforms the expressions of any third person but it changes everything.
