Just the two of us engulfed in the warm Island of golden glow emanating from a solitary electric lamp. The rest is just an ocean of darkness. An occasional invisible clouds moves aside to let a shimmer of star light pass through, I am re-reading “Forward the Foundation” she is re-reading “The Last Leaf”
How romantic you would say, but NO!! it is not when you are sitting there not by choice but by compulsion of a 7 hour power cut and all the back-up power you have garnered for the worst possible situations is exhausted. Not to mention the mosquitoes eating you alive!
Two consecutive mishaps at the major power stations and the entire region has been crippled. The situation is not expected to improve for at least 10 more days…
Looks like we will have to be entirely self dependent for all our power needs. Gives burning money an entire new meaning 🙁
