The chill

The winters this year are marvelous.For long we had forgotten about the chill that seeps down  even in the warmest and thickest of the clothing.Entire Europe and North America is reeling under the Freez.Here in Jabalpur ,the temperature has touched tonight about 2or 3degree C.It is difficult to drive the car as windshield gets quickly frosted.My Maruti does not have a heater and I somehow managed by running the blower and wiping the screen.The headlights of oncoming vehicles play their own games on your eyes  compounded by the crowd like traffic.The hands got almost numb during 15 minute ride from station to home.However ,son enjoyed the ride as he brought his rajai with him and comfortably spread himself on the rear seat under it.

The plight of footpath dwellers is heart rending.Little children are shivering under thin pallus of their mothers and unsuccessfully shielding themselves with polythene sheets.There is just no warmth out there.Something has to be done about it.If some members of the society can not make it ,the society ,we ,should respond with a helping hand.You can never provide for all shivering ,chilled out masses .But surely can share  your old warm clothing which is just getting finer crease at the bottom of a trunk.Take them out and disperse warmth.I am going to do that tomorrow.
