A Thanks To The Electricity Board

The 'Power Crisis' in Maharashtra has become more severe. The load-shedding time has been increased and people like my parents are rejoicing. Why? Well, because now I am spending less time on the PC and more time with my books. I am happy too. I never knew that there were so many things that you can do without electricity. I now exercise more regularly. I go out for treks and I have even learnt to sleep among mosquitoes. I will always be grateful to the MSEB for bringing me out of my shell.

The MSEB has liberated us from the clutches of electricity while they have sacrificed themselves to the 'demon'. The MSEB engineers are forcing themselves to use electricity by turning on the air conditioners and all the electrical appliances they can find at their offices while they have freed us poor souls from the misery of the use of such appliances. They have even forced the demon on the malls and multiplexes. But, as a compensation, they charge them at a lesser rate.

Even though the whole world is succumbing to electricity, I thank the MSEB for keeping us from it(though I would like it if they would not charge us extra for their efforts), and hope that they will be (un)able to continue their good work.

I can't imagine what I would do without a good book, a fun time outside with Kirby...or just going for a walk. When I moved into this house with 5 people my son had to learn to live without TV, video games, or any electronic programming. We have become so close it is amazing. If we don't spend some time outside each day or spend time reading we both really start to miss it. People ask him what his favorite tv show is and he laughs and says he has no idea whats on anymore. It is so great! Good for you getting back to the simple, easy and fun!
