This happens every now and then in most state-run colleges in India. The pattern is like this - some kid who has never been exposed to the internet comes to college and is exposed to high-speed, unlimited internet and gets immediately hooked. He starts skipping class, eventually starts flunking subjects. At the end of his pre-final year, when he has to sit for placements, he realises his situation and then he kills himself. College admins want to appear to have taken action, and internet access is time-restricted. Eventually, of course, sanity prevails, and we get to go through this whole routine all over again. Happened twice during my 4 years in college.
