Words can kill
Words are dealier than venom
Can kill in a matter of hours
Wounds inflicted on the body heal
Wounds inflicted on the mind leave deep scars
A bright and brilliant child's life snuffed out
By careless words from a so called 'teacher'
Who couldn't deal with her own frustations
Performance is not the end all
be all of life
There is a future for all
The big and the small
The short and the tall
The smart
and the not so smart
Children are gifts
To be nurtured
Not racehorses geared
To win and only win
Not assets to show off
By parents and colleges
Its truly sad that things
have come to this end
This is the peril of a Goal- driven
Society
where only results matter
no matter what
(I write this for Anup Bopaiah a 16-year old student of Christ Jr. College Bangalore who ended his life when humiliated and threatened in class by a teacher. )

Thank you I too was in a state of shock since the boy was my daughter's junior in college. It was as death brushed me so closely.
