Even though I don't know him, it's utter shocking to hear when a person dies. People might comment regarding the extreme step taken. But no one knows what actually he was feeling. Even though people have popularity and talents, still the world doesn't consider them as a human being. Bcoz we have been gone through such a pain. It would have been much better if a single person would have talked to him and find out the solution for that, instead of giving advices. It's really easy to give advice to others. But a particular human being knows what he is going through in life. Popularity and talents are nil if people doesn't see you as an ordinary human being. I just request everyone to see a particular person in his/her point of view rather than the society's.

Whatever may be the reason suicide is not a solution....It is a disaster in the family who brought him up. Youngsters must realize the pain his/Her parents have taken to bring them up. There are failures in life. It doesn't mean that you failed.....there is a better way will come up. Please wait and watch. He is gone anyway...this advise for those who have failed in life and thinking about committing suicide.

No sympathies. Sorry for the parents. Every problem in life there is counselling right. Suicide is a sin.

I remember Ovin very well from the MTG show. He had a beautiful voice, it was very pleasant listening to him. Everytime he came on the show, he spoke very fondly of his older brother. He spoke about how he and his brother are very good friends and how close they are and how he can share anything with his brother and how supportive his brother is. i know you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead but what a selfish jackass he turned out to be!!! Didnt he think even once about how his brother would be affected by his action? so were all the words he spoke about his brother meaningless?? if you check his Instagram page, he professes so much love for his brother. i dont think i can trust in the words people speak anymore or what they post on social media...its all pretentious nonsense.

Yes the world outside the TV screens and screens of our devices is brutal. No one cares about us, they want to mock and kick us down every single day. But I urge myself and everyone to give ‘time a chance’, coz time is a healer in itself.

The world the natural world is beautiful, the site of the rising sun, the chirping birds, the rooster crowing and the odour of the soil wetted by the most - in itself makes one more day worth to live. RIP brother

Men often become successful in attempting suicide!! When a depressed man talks to u or cries in front of u, do not mock at that person, instead talk to him, make sure he opens up!! Tell them it is ok to be depressed. If he or she can’t cope up with depression then make sure he seeks medical attention. Lot of celebrities open up about these phases but we are still being narrow minded. Accept others as they are!! Help them overcome these difficult phases of their lives. Rest In
Peace boy!

I agree with you. I just cant imagine why prople can reach upto that level of decision.
We need help people or teach young and small children at the young age itself to have control over ones emotions and depressions.
Rip ovin. I feel sad his parents who brought him up to this age and this is what he rewarded them.
God forgive him

shocking to know you gave up the fight and surrendered to death. I too had many such giving up moments in the last 3 years in my life but got passed those invitations and decided to stay back and I hope in the future too i will as my own people have ruined my life, continue doing it and enjoy their life from my hard work. Ovin you posted in your status - Good bye to the cruel world! Sometimes our own people are cruel, they destroy out life for their benefits. Young man still you had so many opportunities to shine with the ups and downs, its frustrating to know you left, Wish you had spoken to me once, i would never let you to go.

Very very sad news. I use to watch his singing in MTG. Such good talented person.
Parents don't pressurise your children. Life competition, expectations in worldly success, pressures of daily demands, children cannot cope. More than life and a living what else one needs. Any problems are not more than a life.
Hope our society comes out of psuedo comparison. Students please share your problems at least with a close friend or a professional counselor. Catharsis or a simple confession in the Christian faith also mends the broken heart for a healing.
RIP Ovin. You left a big vaccum to all, especially your beloved family.
May his soul rest in peace.

I wish I was there Bharain,,sure dear friend,there are moments one feels ,life isnt worth,circumstances are making one to put an end to everything.At that moment one should simply take a breath,sleep a night over,and next day morning it looks a bit better,pressure has gone down,and say ,God has granted a new day ,let me make use of it and make a new start.It is only once one lives.Talk to someone and relieve your sorrow ,feel your burden is better.Dont throw your life simply so.Here sad he has given up so early.God knows what made him to end.we only say May God give his soul rest in peace..Heartfelt felt sympathys to his family.I think many times singers give off hopes too early when career ,fame doesnt come as they want.

My dear Rita...its not so easy for them to control those grievous moments by a deep breath or deep sleep etc... They struggle dear... without sleep and so on... Only proper counselling.. sometimes medication and more over love, support and filling into them courage can make them normal ...its difficult to explain what's going on there in their mind... Counsellors should know to bring out from them because of which he is suffering ?

Yes... See how all of us... Not only the family members or close friends and relatives ...even we who are not known to the person are getting affected by reading such shocking news... Whatever it is which you cannot solve... Instead of going into depression... Please discuss with your very close people who love you and on whom you have trust... Or there are so many good counsellors available dear.. Or you can meet the doctors specialised in giving medicines for a short period or depending upon the severity of imbalance when you can't control your feelings.... ...... My humble request to all keep away from the negative people who pass only negative comments... Concentrate on activities that diverts your mind and makes you happy... Stay blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What a tragedy..! My heart goes out to the family. These days youngsters have become so very sensitive over minor things.. ! That's why parents have to be extra careful in handling them, guiding them. In no way suggesting his parents failed him, but actually really feeling for thier loss.
May the Good Lord have mercy on the Departed soul..and Grant him eternal rest.
May He also grant his family strength and fortitude in this difficult hour.

Ohh no,,,,,,
he was very good singer and was very good boy I spoke to him during MTG competition.
dear children please do not take the step of killing yourself that's not the solution for problems you should please discuss your problems with someone who is your nearest love if not put it in the knowledge of your religious seniors who will defiantly support to you by counseling . after the death our parents or siblings behind, or the friends & loved once. just imagine how much they will go through . I know this boy was very much loving to his brother. What happened to him ?
parents should be always with the Children for every circumstance and keep eye on them until they stand on their feet's make give comfort all the time .
dear Children God, always has a plan for us we will surely get it when we knock his door try and you will find the success . God bless and RIP dear Ovin.

RIP Ovin.

There was a brilliant boy, he always scored 100% in science and maths, got admission in IIT Madras and scored excellent in IIT. Went to University of California for MBA. Got a high paying job and settled there. Married a beautiful Tamil girl. Bought a 5 room luxury house and luxury car.

He had everything that make him successful, but a few years ago, he committed suicide after shooting his wife and children.

California Institute of Psychology studied his case and found out that he lost his job due to recession. The case concluded that the man was programmed for success and he was not trained to handle failures.

I request every parent, please not only program your child to be successful, but teach them how to handle failures. We do not know when the next crisis will hit India and the world.
