00:00If you say it's because of the high-pressure environment in IITs and other places that kids are tragically choosing
00:07to end their lives, you are seeing only half the picture.
00:11Pressure alone is not the problem. It's a very deadly situation when an extreme pressure meets extreme purposelessness.
00:21Then one is being forced to achieve and there is no love. One doesn't want to achieve but there is
00:29a lot of pressure from the environment.
00:31And it's not merely from the environment because one has internalized the pressure now.
00:36Others' expectations have been soaked in. So they look like our own expectations.
00:41So there is pressure then both from the outside and the inside and they are telling you, get this done.
00:48Again, CGPR 9, best placement, everything, you have to be shining in so much pressure and no purpose.
00:59Nothing that you can love and therefore nothing you can live for.
