The mercury has dipped to 2 degrees and delhi is freezing. But our kids turned up as usual in the morning chill.

As they filed into the room, we were a little baffled to see little Golu who seemed to have difficulties walking and waddled through arms stretched at an awkward angle. It took a little time and investigation to realise that he was wearing 6 sweaters his mom’s recipe to beat the cold.

One does not know if he warm warm, but one could see he was undoubtedly uncomfortable and unhappy.

We removed some of the layers so that he could play and jump with his buddies but did not forget to put them back on when it was time for mom to come and collect her son.
