Port Blair, Aug 24/--/ Suicide is not chosen; it happens, when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.
And in a bid to offer a solution to the stuck mind out of his thoughtful creativity K. Raja Kumarr alias ‘KRK’ as he is popularly known across the Isles’ social media circles, an up and coming video artiste from the Islands here, has produced a short film on the burgeoning concern.
Stirred by the alarming stats that reveal the rate at which suicides have been taking place across the country as well as in the A&N Islands, he has come out with his short film which is already going down well with the viewers all over.
And in a short span of time after its release recently, the video based on the need to create awareness about the grave issue is fast gaining popularity across the social media and offline as well.
It was also recently praised by the former Lieutenant Governor of A&N Islands, Lt. Gen. AK Singh (Retd.) who congratulated the budding artiste on his conception of the issue as well as his presentation of the film. “Great and relevant effort. Will ask Secretary, Social Welfare, to incorporate the video in our effort against suicides,” said the former LG in a tweet, lately.
“Records indicate that there is one person who ends his life across the world in every 40 seconds and about 8, 00,000 people lose their precious lives every year. Of these 1, 35,000 (17%) are residents of India, a nation with 17.5% of world’s population. In Andaman & Nicobar Islands there are around 150 suicides taking place every year,” said Krk in a communication to Hawk Eye lately.
With this short film on the burning issue, Krk aims at spreading awareness among people to stay away from such an act, which causes endless miseries to the loved ones.
“Life is a gift and one needs to accept it as a wonderful gift from the Almighty. No matter what you are undergoing, Remember You are NOT Alone. Everyone has a mountain to climb, some higher than others. But the higher you climb, the stronger you'll be. It’s a humble request from K. Raja Kumarr to share this Video and help save precious lives,” says Krk in an appeal made via the communication.
The video has already achieved 12, 000 Views in YouTube in just over 48 hours. The mission is to reach the video across the globe and help people in distress; he adds.
Camera, Editing and Direction of the video has been done by K.Raja Kumarr himself, while the music has been given by M. Karthik and Team Ameeta , Sam Singh, Maya Rajan, Prasad , Prasanth ji Neeraj & Pandi.
