19歲的Dwarkesh Thakkar是帕德拉石油大亨的兒子。10月中旬，因為不滿意自己的大學，不喜歡自己的專業，又想要證明自己能不靠家人獨立生活，他瞞著家人離開了。
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是瓦薩德一所工程學院的學生。10月14日他說他要去學校了。然而，他不喜歡他的大學，也不喜歡所學專業。所以，他並沒有前往瓦薩德，而是去了瓦多達拉火車站，上了一輛開往德裡的火車，就此消失了。

日子一天天過去，家人始終沒有收到Dwarkesh的消息。心急如焚的他們報了警。警察在全邦範圍展開搜索，甚至前往孟買，但都沒能發現Dwarkesh的蹤跡。
「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.
一名警官說：「這孩子把手機留在家裡了。我們的線索只有瓦多達拉火車站的監控，以及瓦多達拉市一位載過他的司機的證詞，他在Akshar Chowk下了車。」

眼看Dwarkesh失蹤快一個月了，警察還是沒有找到其他線索。就在這周一，事情出現了轉機。
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檔酒店，想要在那兒找份工作。酒店經理覺得有點不對勁。據稱，Dwarkesh告訴經理，他一直在當地餐館工作。經理查看了Dwarkesh的身份證，上面寫著他來自古吉拉特邦的帕德拉。他在網上搜到帕德拉警察的聯繫方式，並給他們打了電話。
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.
隨後經理向警方發了一張Dwarkesh身份證的照片。帕德拉警方很快確認這就是他們找了很久的失蹤少年。

有兩位警察恰好在附近度假。他們馬上前往這家酒店去找Dwarkesh。然而他們到了之後卻被告知，Dwarkesh已經離開了。不過經理還是給他們提供了一些重要線索。
「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說：「酒店經理告訴我們，男孩說他一直在高速公路上的餐館和小賣部工作，能找到什麼就吃什麼。所以我們立即聯繫了所有這樣的小餐館和當地的計程車司機，給他們發了男孩的照片和我們的電話號碼。」

周一晚上，他們接到一個計程車司機的電話，說在西姆拉看到Dwarkesh睡在馬路邊上。這次，他們及時趕過去了，Dwarkesh的父母在收到消息後也立即坐飛機趕往西姆拉。至此，一場富二代失蹤案算是圓滿落幕。
Dwarkesh告訴警察，他想證明自己不靠家人也能存活下來。這一個月，他輾轉各個小餐館，刷盤子，吃剩飯，睡路邊，樂在其中。
不少印度網友對Dwarkesh的行為表示誇讚，
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.
這孩子繼承了很好的家庭價值觀。至少這段時間他沒有從家裡拿走一分錢，去過花天酒地的生活。欣賞他去酒店找適合自己工作以及認真生活的態度。
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
這個年輕人未來可期啊。他重視努力工作，即便風餐露宿也沒有放棄。這種精神很難得。
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質啊。1.不走犯罪道路。2.靠努力工作而不是靠父母的錢生存。3.永不言敗的態度。(當然是很短的一段時間)
同時，也有不少網友呼籲，印度父母們不能再只盯著工程師和醫生這兩個專業了，不是所有的孩子都適合都喜歡，應該讓他們選擇自己喜歡的專業。
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.
我想給父母們提些要求，不要給孩子過多的壓力。醫生的兒子不一定非得當醫生，工程師的兒子也不一定非成為工程師。他們可能對其他東西感興趣，也可能會超越父母的成就。
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，許多人仍然認為工程和醫學是唯一值得追求的兩個職業，只有那些兩者都做不到的人，才會從事其他職業。這種想法導致了許多學生最終自殺的悲慘案例。父母不應讓孩子實現他們自己的野心。應該讓他們做自己喜歡的事吧。
你支持Dwarkesh的做法嗎?
