This is why we treat Google as a god! Google is virtually everywhere on earth. Google is changing the way we think. Google has changed the way our brain work. With a substantial number of individuals relying on Google, we recall less information. We depend on Google to store the very small information.

A 24-year-old girl decided to commit suicide when her boyfriend left her. After getting a government job, the boy came up with an excuse as he is under family pressure then he left the girl. In this depressed feeling, girl was decided to end her life by jumping into the Yamuna canal which is 4km away from her village.
But only the thing that girl did right is she opened Google typed “How to Commit Suicide?”.

Yes. Instead of showing the result of suicide methods, the Google search results showed “Suicide Helpline Numbers”!
The story continues… After getting the suicide helpline numbers, girl dialed one of the numbers that were displayed by Google. The call was received by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, who convinced her to get counseling.
“On January 3, I got a call from the girl on my public number. She was quite nervous and was about to end her life. She told me she had even searched how to kill herself on Google. Among the search results, she told me, she found my number. I heard her out and told her to come to my office so we could talk about it in detail,” DIG Jitendra Kumar Shahi, the counselor told TOI.
The depressed girl described her story to the to a counselor. She endured two sessions of counseling and the counseling team successfully stopped her from committing suicide. They made her realize the importance of life. The female counselor connected with the boy and conversed with the couple to search for better choices for a future.
A life saved, thanks to Google! Google ought to get all the gratefulness for posting suicide helpline numbers for such searches rather than the suicide methods.
