Strange as this may sound, every December i slip into a state of misery, no matter how hard i try to stay clear of such feelings, i just cant help it. With Christmas and my birthday round the corner i am sure i have a lot to celebrate but leading up to D day, i slowly start wallowing in self pity and anguish.

Just last night the news had me depressed as hell, honestly i love winters, and it just dawned on me that i do so because, i am amongst the lucky few who can brave a winter from the warmth of my home.

The warm blankets, the cups of coffee and cognac, but what about those millions out there, who brave the cold under fly overs all while the government demolishes their shelters in the name of a cleansing drive!!

Its extremely painful to hear and watch such stories unfold, a government so inherently corrupt that it doesn't care a rat's arse about its citizens, all while filling its own coffers!!

Thankfully the Supreme Court came down harshly on the MCD and other authorities and have warned them from demolishing these shelters this winter.

I often muse, if the government has so much money to spend on sidewalks which are constructed and reconstructed every other day and all the money that is swindled in the name of development and projects, can it not then atleast provide a blanket and a shelter all those homeless out there.

I personally cant do much, but i promise to go out and distribute atleast 10 blankets this weekend.Thats the least i can do, and if everyone i knew did the same or even went out and gave one blanket to the poor, wont that be a good way of bringing on Christmas.

I just hope, things will get better for all soon.
Otherwise its just too depressing watching all those poor die coz they couldn't afford a blanket!!
