on our way out from the hospital today, a commotion was going on.

being the oh-so-busy-body dentistry students, we all decided to drop by to check out what was happening. then, we saw a mother practically wailing for something/someone.

Prof. Rita was there and she told us about the story. According to her, a young girl had hung herself to death after knowing that she failed her exam. 

We stayed behind to watch the pitiful scene and after knowing that there was nothing we could ever do, we went home. Each having teary eyes.

It was later when Roshiny came to our room to tell us the ACTUAL story she had heard from the cleaning akka who was there when it all happened...

The girl did not fail her finals. instead, she passed the test with well to do marks. It was her friends who told her that she had failed before the results were even announced. She practically died in vain.

According to the Akka, cases like this will continue to happen especially during the exam month. People here are so poor that if they fail their exam, it would be the end of everything. Lucky girls might be married off to some old man in the next village but, those are very rare cases.

Its just very very troubling....

i will never ever do anything so stupid after hearing the cries of the mother. I can never allow my mother to feel the same way as how the girl's mother did. It's such a heart breaking scene. =(
