Dressed in a black corduroy suit with a pale lemon shirt, indigo tie and a white Adidas muffler, I walked through the alleys of Central Secretariat while heading off to North Block - the place of my OJT. The wind was riding its fog chariot, making the scene more 'pleasant' as I felt being so corporate type dressed up that we see in Hollywood movies. The R-Day parade rehearsals going on at Raj Path made everything look so royale, so cliched. The feeling was obvious.
But now, while fiddling with this keyboard, I feel the pain of those numerous shelter less people who are forced NOT to see the rosy side of this 'beautiful' winter of Delhi. We can do our bit by donating our old, not-in-use-anymore woolens. Or better, by buying some blankets / jacket/ sweaters/ etc from places like Jan Path, Sarojini Nagar, Yusuf Sarai and then channelizing them to the needy. But can we do anything else? I am flummoxed. Can we do better? Without waiting for the administration to do anything? Without 'feeling the pinch' on our pockets?
Kindly Suggest.
