Journey towards death

“Let's welcome the director with a huge applause” said the anchor Ringgggggg… THE ALARM RANG John woke up “Hii guys I am going to suicide today” John is stressed because his life is hopeless. John wished to become a director but he was not able to. None gave him opportunity to show his talent. His lover left him because he is always after his film but not able to accomplish it and he was also unemployed so she broke up with him. John was drummed out of his house by his family because he is unemployed. He was left by all and plans to end his life. John’s aim is to suicide before 9th Sept because it’s his birthday but he is not bold enough to end himself and kept delaying until now. He has a habit of Recording everything in a voice recorder. At present: 8th September John speaking “Hii this is day 2 of my suicidal attempt and this is the last day. Today I am sure that I will be going to suicide. The last time I tried to cut my veins but was scared that it would pain, you can ask me why can’t I try jumping from the terrace but I am scared of height. You can even ask me why can’t I try taking sleeping pills but I can’t afford it. So I am going to try by drowning in the sea because if I die in there all would come and check on me and I will be filmed by the news so I can be famous." John planned to go to beach by riding his cycle, so he feels it will be a journey too. He took the cycle and came out of the flat. He lounged onto the cycle and began to ride but it didn’t move because the tyre were flat. So, he left to a cycle shop to pump air. While he was pumping his phone fell and broke. John don’t know the clear route to proceed to the beach but he recalls the way a little which he saw in Google map on his phone last night, and thought to continue his journey. The beach is so far that he needs to cross many areas, bridges and traffic signals. Suddenly he got confused by 2 roads and chose one out of it, he had no clue about the path he chose whether it would take him to his destination. He couldn’t see any cars or a single soul and the place was quiet. So, John felt something is wrong, at the same time he got to see a man passing by and he asked the man, “Hey, how to go to the beach?”. The man replied “For that you should take the other road”. John thought to himself that he couldn’t even do this properly and was exhausted with his life and decided to not give up. He wished that before his death he wanted to at least do this journey correctly. He was stubborn that he need to put an end to his life today and started riding vigorously but the tyre again got flat. He didn’t give up he pushed the cycle, and arrived the beach during sunset. John laid the cycle a bit away from the shore and sat near his cycle feeling tired. He then was talking to his cycle “Do you know one thing that today I started the day with a motive of suicide and came here but now I don’t feel the same because I understood that when we work hard without stepping back, one day its result will give us the happiness and pride. So, I am not going to give up and I will continue to write my story again. Life is a journey and one day everyone will face their death. We should explore our life rather than ending it. It is all about how we lived our life. “I am very glad to receive this honourable award” said Gokul Periyasamy, the director of ‘JOURNEY TOWARDS DEATH”.
