Yesterday was the longest day in the year and the longest night. It was hot, humid and hellish! Well, I thought of going early to bed and turned the lights out at 10:30 pm. Less than half an hour later, as soon as my eyelids started feeling heavy… KESC pulled the plug.
I cursed and cursed. Being a poor guy with no UPS or generator, I was left with no option but to curse and wait. I took a shower, opened the windows, took off my shirt and lay in bed. There was no wind. The leaves were motionless. The clock was ticking away but there was no sign of life from our electricity department. Electric supply was finally restored at 2:00 am. I couldn’t sleep a wink till that time. I breathed a sigh of relief and no sooner had I finished rejoicing, it went out again! It was like this for most part of the night. I mean, if its load-shedding its still better, at least you know that when the supply is restored its here to stay… going on and off randomly is pure torture!
Well, today I am going to buy a couple of rechargeable fans – that is the cheapest way of staying cool for at least a couple of hours. One fan just won’t do, it has to be two or more. I had bought a rechargeable fan a couple of years back but it went dead and repairs on it did not work. I will post my experience with the new fans later here.
