Politicians - Beware!

There is a general impression that the youngsters of today have no interest in either social service or even knowing what's going on in the country but in my experience I have found that to be the opposite. In my younger days I did not have any interest in the way the country was being run but today's youngsters are coming out in droves to make the changes that they feel are required to make our society a just society. Politicians in all parties seem to assume that there is be nobody to challenge them and that they can go about doing what they wish with no opposition at all. I came across this interview with a young graduate from Ethiraj College who had completed her social service degree
 I found her to be a totally aware and conscientious citizen. She says that there are employment opportunities in almost every sphere and it is so nice to see someone taking up something like managing a night shelter on behalf of the city of Chennai to look after old and abandoned people on the street.

It's not that she likes to wipe their mouth and hold their hand  etcetera but she run the night shelter in the most efficient manner so that the service can be availed of by the maximum number of people. If I ever required help I would thank God for people like Archana.  Good interview with  somebody who is actually more important than all the politicians shooting their mouths off  everyday.
