So you participated in the Earth Hour? Good for you – this will encourage Bescom ( or TNEB or whatever entity ) to give more power cuts – Oh so our customers don’t want power – lets cut some more.
There are so many power cuts in a day for varying durations. Our office UPS beeps almost the entire day – and I have started getting “flow” when I hear the beeps. At times when the beep stops ( because power is back ) I start browsing and cannot concentrate on my work.
We have placed an order for one more home and lighting UPS – Jan Feb we were able to manage without a fan, but now it is unbearably hot. The term “sweat equity” takes a different meaning for us!
Anyway, I applaud the western world to interrupt the power for an hour in a year. Great. I wish they do it every week. And also they switch off the AC and lighting on weekends when they leave office.
And we Indians – let us see how to increase power production. I initially thought I will go with the flow and participate in Earth Hour – but later realised we are kicking ourselves in the butt – why will I sit in darkness – let me enjoy the little power Bescom had blessed us with.
With the nuclear technology US is going to give us ( thanks to Manmohanjee risking his turban et all ) , I am waiting for some enterprising hackers from national market to come up with a desk top mini nuclear fission reactor to ease our power woes. I will buy one – even if it is going to mutate me into an ogre!
