See? You thought wrong

The young only want to spend time chatting on Facebook and Twitter.

They used FB and Twitter to spread the word about the #DelhiGangRape protests, ensuring huge crowds.

They only want to spend money and do frivolous things.

They got the PM to make a statement after days of protests, didn’t cost a rupee.

They don’t care about the world beyond the campus, the mall and the multiplex.

They’ve shown that they care about public buses, public streets, public forums and justice for a girl they’ve never met.

They just want instant gratification.
