Power of Power cuts

This article has taken a long time to be written, even though power cuts have backed off, still is relevant, i feel.

With around 4hrs of scheduled and many more of unscheduled power cuts, I have learned to appreciate power cuts. You don't believe, well read on.

We have power cut in the morning from 6-8am. Our apartment complex does run a very noisy generator just below our master bedroom, we are on the first floor. Hence it acts as a wake up call. I have long since switched off my alarm. 

Next, since there is no power, it means no TV, of which my husband is a big addict!!!!! We are having our morning tea in peace (apart from the jarring generator noise) and are having a quite morning chat. It is heavenly.

One of my friend has power cuts from 8-10am. So she is forced not only to finish her household work by then but also her daily puja, since it becomes dark in her puja room. Bet her family members are happy that she is finishing puja in the morning before 8am!!!!

Another friend says, her daughter is helping around the house. With the power cuts, she gets bored, no TV, no PC, no video games. So she asks her mother to give her some work, so she wont get bored!!!!!

I bet the house maids all over are happy. Since no power means less work for them and especially if no one is in the house during the day-time, like ours, they have to complete the work in dark and they can get away with shoddy work, "it is too dark to see, amma"

With so many advantages, why crib over power cuts, have fun while it lasts!
