Kozhikode (Kerala):The scorching heat during the summer not only affects people, but also animals and birds.

It became his routine for the past 55 years. He has been running a tailoring shop at Perumanna.

"The hunger and thirst are the same for humans and animals and it gives me immense satisfaction by providing water to stray dogs and birds," says Vasudevan. Some times temperature during summer crosses 37 degrees Celsius in Kerala, which would be fatal for birds and stray animals, he reminded. "Before opening the shop, I clean the containers and fill the water for them. It is necessary to quench the thirst of our companions. For Humans, it is easy to get clean water, but for these voiceless animals, it is hard. it is a regular view that stray animals roam searching for water and drink dirty water from gutters," Vasudevan said. With the support of his friend Raveendran, they have been providing water in corners across the Perumanna for the birds and animals.
