Much has been said about the increasing number of student suicides that the city has witnessed recently, but very little has been done. And it is this very apathy of the system that resulted in an anti-suicide movement on one of the most popular social networking site.
Now, the `I Pledge to Stop Student Suicides' movement, a common man's initiative which is working actively towards finding a solution to this persistent problems is launching an album titled Follow Your Dreams. And making their contribution to this worthy cause are a host of eminent Indian artistes including Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsan Noorani, Loy Mendonsa, Euphoria, Kailash Kher, Indian Ocean, Parikrama, Luke Kenny and Agnee. According to the promoters, the main aim of coming out with this album is to spread positive energy among students.
The album is a compilation of inspirational songs by artists giving out messages that life is beautiful and that one must never give up on life. There are songs about the exuberance of youth and one which even talks about channelling teenage aggression in the right direction. The album will be launched by Euphoria's lead vocalist Dr Palash Sen, and will be distributed free of cost across schools and will be available for free download over the internet. The promoters of the movement are also working towards making it available on racks at popular hangout joints like coffee shops.
