T-shirts emblazoned with the quirky slogans spreading anti-suicide message, is making waves among teenagers, in the Indian fashion industry. It is started by a business man, Manmohan Singh, as an attempt to curb the alarming rate of teenage suicide.

The T-shirts are quickly catching the eyes of students keen on spreading the message. They range from Rs 200 to 250.

"I really liked the message on these t-shirts. I am going to buy them for my friends who have exams coming up. I would like them to wear them on the day of their exams, so that other students will also be able to see the slogans and take their exams," says Nisha, a student from Mumbai.

Manmohan Singh thinks that the academic success should not determine a student's achievement, reminding the teenagers that Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi reached great heights despite a not-so-stellar education record.

"I went through Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography, where I read that he had failed Latin when he entered further studies. Just think if he had committed suicide because of that? Where would we be?" says Singh.

"Even Winston Churchill failed. Einstein was thrown out of school and now he is seen as a great scientist. The same thing happened to Darwin," he adds.
