It has been three days since Pawanjeet Kohli, a 24-year-old Bandra resident committed suicide by jumping from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. A front-page report in this paper stated how Kohli, who was from an affluent Bandra family, was supposedly nursing a broken heart after his former girlfriend got engaged to someone else.
However, while he was seemingly struggling with depression, he appeared cheerful to his friends and family. His suicide throws the spotlight back on depression, a mental ailment that is treated at times with flippancy by the society at large.
