Cold getting colder
The temp is dropping further in the north-eastern parts of US. The numbers I'm hearing in news is stunning.....at Mt. Washington in New Hampshire state, the temperature dipped to -42 celsius and with the wind chill the temperature index was -72c!!! Any lower, I guess it wud be like absolute zero! Itz amazing how ppl survive in such conditions! And it is also amazing that till now there has been no news of any deaths because of the cold. There are established centers for the homeless and for those who cannot afford warmer clothing. Contrast this to the hundreds of deaths in India because temperature hovered around freezing. Hats off to the American spirit that keeps thingz going against such adversity.
Anywayz, here in Naperville itz much warmer :) Itz abt -10c and I guess I shud start feeling blessed to be staying here ;-)
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
