19岁的Dwarkesh Thakkar是帕德拉石油大亨的儿子。10月中旬，因为不满意自己的大学，不喜欢自己的专业，又想要证明自己能不靠家人独立生活，他瞒着家人离开了。

Dwarkesh Thakkar, a student of an engineering college of Vasad, had left home on October 14 saying he was going to college. However, he did not like his college, nor studies. So, instead of Vasad, he headed to the Vadodara railway station from where he boarded a train to Delhi and disappeared.

Dwarkesh Thakkar是瓦萨德一所工程学院的学生。10月14日他说他要去学校了。然而，他不喜欢他的大学，也不喜欢所学专业。所以，他并没有前往瓦萨德，而是去了瓦多达拉火车站，上了一辆开往德里的火车，就此消失了。

日子一天天过去，家人始终没有收到Dwarkesh的消息。心急如焚的他们报了警。警察在全邦范围展开搜索，甚至前往孟买，但都没能发现Dwarkesh的踪迹。

“The boy had left his mobile phone at home. All we had to hunt for him were CCTV camera footage of Vadodara railway station and an auto-rickshaw driver’s statement who had dropped him at Akshar Chowk in Vadodara city,” said a police officer.

一名警官说：“这孩子把手机留在家里了。我们的线索只有瓦多达拉火车站的监控，以及瓦多达拉市一位载过他的司机的证词，他在Akshar Chowk下了车。”

眼看Dwarkesh失踪快一个月了，警察还是没有找到其他线索。就在这周一，事情出现了转机。

On Monday, Dwarkesh went to a hotel in Shimla, asking for a job. The manager of the upscale hotel could make out that something was amiss. The teenager had allegedly told the hotel manager that he had been working at local eateries. He took the teen's ID card which said that he was from Padra, Gujarat. The manager searched for the contact number of the Padra police on a search engine and called them.

周一，Dwarkesh去了西姆拉的一家高档酒店，想要在那儿找份工作。酒店经理觉得有点不对劲。据称，Dwarkesh告诉经理，他一直在当地餐馆工作。经理查看了Dwarkesh的身份证，上面写着他来自古吉拉特邦的帕德拉。他在网上搜到帕德拉警察的联系方式，并给他们打了电话。

The manager sent a photograph of the Dwarkesh's ID card to the police. On receiving the photograph, the Padra police confirmed that it belonged to the missing teenager.

随后经理向警方发了一张Dwarkesh身份证的照片。帕德拉警方很快确认这就是他们找了很久的失踪少年。

有两位警察恰好在附近度假。他们马上前往这家酒店去找Dwarkesh。然而他们到了之后却被告知，Dwarkesh已经离开了。不过经理还是给他们提供了一些重要线索。

“The hotel manager told us that the boy confided that he had been working at highway eateries and kiosks and survived on whatever food he got. So we contacted all such small eateries and local taxi drivers and shared the boy’s photos along with our numbers,” said Gohil.

警官Gohil说：“酒店经理告诉我们，男孩说他一直在高速公路上的餐馆和小卖部工作，能找到什么就吃什么。所以我们立即联系了所有这样的小餐馆和当地的出租车司机，给他们发了男孩的照片和我们的电话号码。”

周一晚上，他们接到一个出租车司机的电话，说在西姆拉看到Dwarkesh睡在马路边上。这次，他们及时赶过去了，Dwarkesh的父母在收到消息后也立即坐飞机赶往西姆拉。至此，一场富二代失踪案算是圆满落幕。

Dwarkesh告诉警察，他想证明自己不靠家人也能存活下来。这一个月，他辗转各个小餐馆，刷盘子，吃剩饭，睡路边，乐在其中。

不少印度网友对Dwarkesh的行为表示夸赞，

The family value has been imbibed on boy's thoughts. Hence he did not attempt to take away any money from home and lead a luxurious life at least for some time. Appreciate his attitude in approaching hotels for any suitable job and lead a honest life.

这孩子继承了很好的家庭价值观。至少这段时间他没有从家里拿走一分钱，去过花天酒地的生活。欣赏他去酒店找适合自己工作以及认真生活的态度。

The youngster has a good future. He values hard work and also has not given up in spite of the hurdles even for the basic needs like food and shelter. That mental makeup is hard to find

这个年轻人未来可期啊。他重视努力工作，即便风餐露宿也没有放弃。这种精神很难得。

Some good qualities his parents made him. 1.not to follow a criminal path. 2.survive on your hard work and not parent's money. 3. A never defeat attitude. (of course it was a short period)

父母教他了一些良好品质啊。1.不走犯罪道路。2.靠努力工作而不是靠父母的钱生存。3.永不言败的态度。(当然是很短的一段时间)

同时，也有不少网友呼吁，印度父母们不能再只盯着工程师和医生这两个专业了，不是所有的孩子都适合都喜欢，应该让他们选择自己喜欢的专业。

I would like to request parents, do not pressure too much to your children what they cant bear. Its not necessary a Doctor son can be mandatory to be Doctor only, or Engineer son to be Engineer. They might have different interest or they can do bigger than parents expectations.

我想给父母们提些要求，不要给孩子过多的压力。医生的儿子不一定非得当医生，工程师的儿子也不一定非成为工程师。他们可能对其他东西感兴趣，也可能会超越父母的成就。

Many in India still believe that Engineering and Medicine are the only two professions worth pursuing, Only those who cannot do either, follow other professions. This thinking has lead to many sad cases where students have ended up committing suicide. Parents must not try to fulfill their ambitions through their children. Let them follow their passions.

在印度，许多人仍然认为工程和医学是唯一值得追求的两个职业，只有那些两者都做不到的人，才会从事其他职业。这种想法导致了许多学生最终自杀的悲惨案例。父母不应让孩子实现他们自己的野心。应该让他们做自己喜欢的事吧。

你支持Dwarkesh的做法吗?
