The Happy Feet Project - Delhi, for now. And, wherever esle.
Hello all :)
Its winter, and its cold. Very cold. My mother used to tell me that the cold enters your body through your feet. So if you coat up your feet, that is quite a bit of cold you could prevent from entering, and a lot of warmth from escaping. And, all I can think of right now, are socks. Lots of socks.
Do check if you happen to have spare socks tucked into the back of your cupboards. Or perhaps, if you step into Sarojini, or Lajpat, or anywhere, you could buy plenty from there. Those thick warm ones. They don't cost more than 30 a pair. And, they would not occupy too much space if you roll them into balls, and stuff them down your bag.
And the next time, a little open hand comes in through your car window, or your auto, instead of dropping a pitiful coin or two, could you give that child a pair of socks, please. And if possible, do make sure that he or she wears it in front of you.
I know that a lot of you might think this to be absolutely ridiculous, but that is why we should do it. I know that covering their bare feet would not prevent their bodies from feeling cold, but it would definitely help them feel warmer. And I know, that a lot of you might be thinking that in their hungry, thirsty, freezing conditions, 'socks' may be the last thing anyone would be concerned about. But again, you never know. That would perhaps be one less thing to worry about. And lastly, for all those thinking that how many socks can one hand out to the millions on the streets, if eighty-five of you could give someone one pair of socks at least, that would make eighty-five happier feet on the streets. And that, would just be the beginning.
Thank you for your cooperation. :)
Happy Holidays.
Love,
Rithika
Today, after four days of carrying a ball of socks around, I was able to see somebody else delighted to wear them. I met Geeta outside Malviya Nagar metro station, and she was holding a plate of half-eaten momos she had recently acquired from some kind person. She agreed immediately to wearing the socks, and it took both of us quite a funny while to get her small legs into my socks, which went higher than her knees! I'm guessing she was happy, she didn't say anything, she was too busy making sure nobody made off with her momos while she had been distracted by the socks. But, there you go, one happier pair of feet in Delhi. And no, she didn't ask for money after. =)
