Delhi is getting colder, chillier, and more romantic by the day. Temperatures are soaring! Or dropping in this case and people are huddling in their razais (blanket) … hopefully with their loved ones.
It’s comfy this cozy weather… you can hug and prolong the embrace as long as you want with no body odor to worry about
Dilli tussi great ho !!
But I do worry about the people on the street, not just the people there are dogs there too … Delhi is harsh for those who don’t have a roof on their head, who have no money .. It treats those people with disregard… gives them a very step motherly (a la Cinderella) treatment. Delhi is harsh for these souls… it has no mercy for them … they get killed, sleeping on the street … and nobody gets to know for days ..
People say its is coldest at 3 am in the morning … if you survive that cold … that chill then you are a tough soul
On my street there is a bunch of handicapped people who survive the chill by huddling together, they have their razais and everything on their mobile homes… but I hardly see them covered up … they are used to the cold and used to the chill… I am sure delhi winters is not as romantic for them as it is for me with all my comforts
It is a torture for them… something they need to get over … something they need to survive … something that tests all their abilities …
