The 'Co-operation' Begins....

Following some serious protests by the public, the MSEB has finally decided to review its load-shedding policy. The plan is that if the general public manage to reduce the use of electricity, there will be no power-cuts. Talk about grabbing the bull by its horns. The stupidest part of this plan is that though it would solve a part of the problem, it will not go away completely unless there is an increase in the supply and reduction in what the company likes to call "distributive losses" or, in the lay-man's term, electricity theft.

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.
