It was raining heavily when i reached home on friday. I was drenched. Mom started laughing looking at me seeing me dripping inspite of me wearing a raincoat. Stepped into the house and i was surrounded by darkness. Realised that the power had gone...:-((( It has ben raining for thepast 1 month, but we did not suffer any power loss till now. Waited for the power to come back.But it did not. So went to sleep...
Got up in the morning hearing my mom's voice... "Get up baby!! Come see the rain. Its pouringcats and dogs..." So got up and stood there watchign the rain. I was filled with happiness seeingthe rain.:-)) it was as though the sky had torn and is pouing all water which it has stored over theyears. When the rain stopped for someitme i went out and stood in the stream that was formed due the rain in front of my house. I was filled with happiness from within...
All this happiness lasted only till the moment before i came to know that a tree had fallen on theelectric pole and the wires were cut. Then i understood the reason for power failure. And i also realised that its not going to be set right immediately. But also understood nothign can be done over that. My mind was not sad for a long time it was back to pavilion where happiness was filled.
Both my mother and I went around the place to see the water thats over flowing form the near by lake. Lots of people had come and we stood there seeing lots of children fishing.. then even i wanted to stand in he wtaer my mother said she doesnt want to fall sick and so she would not step in the water. I was too happy to think about falling sick so went and stood in that chilllllll water... playing with thosechildren who were fishing....
Back to home.. No power and so no TV. What a bad weekend. And to add fuel to the flame they were telecasting one of my favourite movie. But then was helping mom to cook or the night too as there wont be any power. Then as evenign set in there was ottal darkness all over the place. So we lit lamps and were sitting inside the house to escape from the predators (mosquitoes).
I felt as though the time machine has gone back ot he early 19th century where people lived without power.then i realised how much we are dependent on power.. then i understood the real value of my stream in my UG.(I'm a engg graduate in the EEE discpline..hehehehhhehee)
Life would have been tough without power..Phew!!! Cant just imagine a live without power.
At night i did not get any sleep so just opeend the window and kept on gazing outside... there was no light and they said it will be repaired only on Wednesday...
Even Sunday went without power..
And on Monday started to work hoping taht the current should come atleast today...Kept on calling mom and asked " Has the power come?" Mom kept replying "No" And i had no hopes that there will be power at home and when i reached hte station..I was shocked to see the neighbouring areas alos were suffering a power loss. And when i reached home to my surprise the power had come in the meanwhile.
My God the happiness which i derieved when the power came after 3 days cannot be explained with words. I thanked Edison from the bottom of my heart...:-)
Long live Edison's fame!!!!!
