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.
India’s temperature can go greater than 30°C during day time. That’s the temperature we grew up with unless you live in a hilly or snowy region. I don’t know what’s the average temperature in Delhi but if it’s same as rest of India and it can go down to single digit it must be really fucking chilly since most of us wouldn’t be accustomed to that low temperatures.
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.
I wasn’t offended at all, I was just sympathizing with you, but I must have expressed it poorly because I got those downvotes.
I really liked reading this thread, thank you for making it!
In the USA, there’s a huge difference in winter temperatures across the country. In Florida they might consider it cold if it’s 10 Celsius, and in Minnesota that would be considered very warm! It’s really weird how much the human body can adapt and get used to a temperature. Personally I like it best at 50 fahrenheit / 10 Celsius.
I wasn’t trying to outdo them. I expressed myself badly. I was trying to say that different temps around the world affect people the same way, it’s what you’re used to. Sorry for the confusion.

Wait till you come to Germany o.O
You’re right, those homeless Dehli residents have it fuckin easy. They could be homeless in Germany instead!
Obviously that wasn’t my point. I just stumbled over the wording.
