    This was something I witnessed in Delhi in 2021. Winters in Delhi are brutal with temperatures plummeting to single digit celsius. I was out for dinner with my family and I noticed a homeless man tucking three stray dogs in to sleep beside him. The homeless could have had just one dog if he craved company, but the fact that he provided sheets and blankets to three dogs spoke of his kindness. This man down on his luck was still being kind. Makes you wonder what we have been doing with our lives.

      Not trying to say your temperature is not brutal, single digit Celsius can be really nasty for humans. In Michigan in the USA, it can reach -20c in winter, and -40 with high wind chill. You learn to layer and use wind proof outer layers very quickly!

        When I said the winter is brutal, I meant it from my perspective. I live in a place where temperature ranges from 15-35 throughout the year. From my perspective, winter becomes brutal when temperature falls to single digits. I didn’t mean to say that temperature lower than that didn’t exist or people don’t live in lower temperatures. Sorry if you felt offended by that, I genuinely didn’t mean to.
