Beautiful December
Now, when the garden awaits the return of spring
Now, when the silence is deep and blue
Now, when the winter has cast her spell again
Beautiful December, Beautiful December
Here, where the snow is as soft as a woolly lamb
Here, where the nightfall is deep and blue,
Here, where the stars are so bright, you reach for them
Beautiful December, Beautiful December
Child, may you sleep in gentle peace tonight
Dream of songs that rise on silken wings!
When you wake, enchanted by the snowspun light
Sing the songs that came to you in dreams,
Your beautiful December dreams

Could you live on a dollar a day?
Comments
Well, the statics said, the average is 610$/month. But that's the statics. The "skilled" minimal wage (most of the company pay this) is 306$/month. But if you earn more than 430$/month, you are wealthy.
And if you don't work anywhere, or you can't get a job, the government grant you 90$/month lay-off pay for a couple of months. Or they offer you to do "public work" for the government, and they pay you 200$/month.
Even during Ramadan @Bubbly? What about the food you're eating at night? Is this really costing less than a dollar?
@mheredge yes only if we eat fritters with garlic sauce.
But i can buy 4 noodles with 1 dollar, i can eat 2 noodles a day. wish my stomach is strong enough.
or i can buy breads, that will work.
or i can get 0.5 kilogram of potatoes and a bottle of ketchup.
i think yes, yes i can live with that @Bubbly
@Nascimento - Governments have learnt not to let people go hungry. It puts us in a bad mood.
In the UK we have soup kitchens for the homeless, and food banks for the poor.
Things are quite a bit cheaper in India than Nepal @hegalian. In Nepal I think most people even in the countryside wouldn't find it very easy to manage unless they were farmers growing all their food.
