a matter of shame for the youth of india

this sunday i read an article in the newspaper the title goes like this
"AGE NO BAR TO INDEPENDENCE: This 101-yr-old woman is an NREGS worker"

the story had been hounding me since. hats off to the lady. in the entire country there will be a very few who could make it to this age or rather across the world. and to top it all she is still working for her lively hood. this must be a matter of great pride for the lady. but isn't it shameful that the society which is letting her do it or rather creating a situation where she has to go to work for probably daily wages as a labour. what is the youth of the country doing, in this case a 60 years old is also youth in my mind. what a plight in the same country we see beggars in there twenties and thirties.

isn't there one of us who could just take pledge of taking care of her needs. isn't there anyone who could make sure she gets food and other amenities without toiling in the sun for the same. is it that expensive a deal. probably one night at a bar will cost much more than her supplies for a month.

let's think twice. let's look around, and make sure that this is a one of it's kind.
and i hope someone sitting in madurai reads this post and look around for her and say "amma tu ghar chal main khaana laya hun".
