You may never read this open letter I am writing to you — or perhaps you will, from the balcony of the world you chose to ascend to after the NEET-UG examination was cancelled. Already distressed by the paper leak and the lapse in the system, the news of your deaths came as a horror to me, and I am crestfallen. I sincerely wish to have a conversation with you, between the two realms to which we now belong. This is not a newspaper column; it is a heartfelt epistle written in the knowledge that I may never receive a reply. Or perhaps I will — from those who read this — and their responses may help stop the growing trend of young people choosing self-annihilation instead of courage and confidence when the system fails them.

The first question that comes to my mind is this:

what on earth made you end your lives for a mistake that was never yours? I understand........
