One Not So Fine Early Morning ....
One very early morning, that is at around sharp 5.30 a.m., as i was enjoying a very peaceful sleep, i woke up suddenly because of a freakin power-cut ...and as soon as that happened i cud hear a mosquito buzzing near my ear ... man did i feel like choppin off a few heads ... it felt as if they knew that this power-cut wud happen exactly at that very particular time ... do they have some collaboration with GRIDCO or somethin??? seriously, just as the fan stopped, 3-4 mosquitoes had surrounded me and were ready to attack ... just think that y didn't they just get wiped out in the ice age ... anyways i lied on the bed shooin away the mosquitoes for a few minutes just hoping for a miracle which wud bring back the electricity ... but don't think it was a day for miracles ... anyways i decided i had to take matter into my own hands ... so i got up from bed and went outside my dad's room to do somethin when i just realised that i cud do it myself ... u must be wonderin wat i'm talkin bout but actually we have a Diesel Generator in our quarters ;) ... so i went n told the guard to just go n switch on the generator so that i cud continue my sleep ... then i just threw myself on the bed waitin n waitin for the power to come back ... but it didn't come back for another five minutes but in these five minutes i had thought about a whole lot of things ... like first, where will Wipro decide to dump all of us??? i had heard either Bangalore or Hyderabad ... so i thought that i know about B'lore ... lotsa power-cuts in that city, atleast when i lived there which is a very long time back ... and then i thought about Hyd ... i started imaginin this thing that i'm talkin to this man in his late 40's who'll be my future land-lord n i'd be askin him "does this flat get 24 hours electricity n water or not???" n i believ he replies in his typical southie accent (to be read in a southie accent ... if u don't know how to, then try holding ur noise n speak stratchin each n every syllable ... i hope that works ... never tried it myself ...) "haanji ... 24 hours power n water we get, excluding the 2-3 hours power cuts in the mornings n evenings" ... i just wonder then that how many hours does this guy have in a day ... 30 ?? man this guy must certainly be married to have such long days ... anyways then i thought bout B'lore n whether still they hav their frequent power-cuts or not ... i then thought about some various devices that wud help me cope up with the heat ... first i thought about the inverter(aka UPS) for my flat but then who knows how long i'd eb stayin out there ... i then wondered if they had this fan , u know table fan that works on batteries ... i think that so many things have been invented then y not this ... but i guess a table fan can't run on 2 1.5V batteries .. so i then thought about the batteries used in inverters ... many they must have built some device that uses a battery and has an output plug-point to connect a very few appliances ... man was i drivin myself crazy that mornin ... i just cudn't stop thinkin crazy stuff ... this happened till i realized that the power was back on n it was 7.00 a.m. ... ok ... i had wasted so much valuable time just thinkin about trashy things but hey, u never know, this cud very well happen in my future ... anyways i slept nicely till 10 after that n by the time i woke up i had very faint memory of all the things i just wrote above ... tak care ppl ...
