Life me kafi sukh dukh dekhe, har problem ko face kiya but aaj mai jis trauma se guzar raha hun wo bardash ke bahar hai. Mai janta hun ki suicide karna kayarta hai mujhe bhi jeena tha but aise jeene ka bhi kya fayeda janha sakun or self respect na ho.
My #wife kanchan Sharma aur uski mummy Vinu Sharma jinhone mujhe na samjha na samjhne ki koshish ki meri #wife hyper nature ki hai uski personality alag hai meri alag jo bilkul bhi match nahi karti hai, roj roj ke kalesh subha shaam bus kalesh meri ab yeh sehne ki shakti nhi hai. Isme #kanchan ki koi galti nahi hai kyonki uski nature aisi hai use sab normal lagta hai but mere liye yeh ab normal nahi hai mai mumbai me kai saalo se hun bohat bura time bhi dekha lekin kabhi tuta nahi.”

Can't stop thinking about #SandeepNahar
Such a soft spoken man. All that he wanted was love, peace, progress. His wife – One sick woman & her mother who he thought of as family pushed him over the edge. Feeling so bad for his family. A young life cut so short. Beyond sad.
