Krishnan from Madurai

Hi,

This week, I laid my eyes on an article that appeared in the local newspaper. Krishnan, an executive in a star hotel, sees a mentally diabled person eating his own waste. He gives up his career and takes to feeding such people in Madurai.

I spoke to him today morning. He sounded very energetic and his voice reflected a lot of pride in what he does.

I got reminded of the following words of John Gardner:

Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community.

Thanks

Vijay
