I am sure it must be over the news channels by now, its just plain sad that a entire Indian family of 6 were found dead in Los Angeles, the entire family was shot by the father himself. Based on some letters he left behind, he justifies this action due to financial difficulties.

The thing that outrages me is that, unlike India in US there are number of avenues you have to keep going even if loose your shirt. Part of the blame can be on the typical Indian communities which have these stereotypical expectations that you always have a live upto certain standard of expectations no matter what the circumstances are. This fatherly character shot his wife, his 70 year old mother inlaw, his three sons 19, 12 and 7 yr olds and finally shot himself.
