MONSTER BLACKOUT on TUESDAY 09MAY2006

Well it rained like crazy on Tuesday here in mysore... for about 2 hours...and then came the granddaddy of them all... A power cut...(A blackout).

Well i guess this wasnt an ordinary power cut... Lost power at home at 7:30 in the night...

9 PM:

I decide to have a candle light dinner :) No electricity remember!!!

10PM:
Still no power... My roommates are getting a little restless.

11PM:
Still no power... We are now down to our last candle.
Two others valiantly fought with the darkness till 10:30until they could fight no more...
The last one remained.
We decide to retire, hoping for a miracle. The candle is saved for another day.

2AM: Still no current. Am getting a little restless.

5AM: No current means no water... Oh My god! How do i take a bath???
My apartment has a water problem, so you know!!!

6:15 AM:
The nightmare is increasingly disturbing. I got up and rushed to the bathroom.... you know, for obvious reasons...Thank god the water is still coming...

7:00 AM: Am quickly done with my bath as well. My roomates get in, hoping that the water doesnt stop yet...

7:45AM:
Lucky everyone is in and out...SQUEAKY CLEAN...

Apparently the power came only by 3:00PM or so...The other areas got them back by 3:00AM itself. Lucky!!!

And Weird! One small drop of rain and one giant power cut...

Expect more though!!! Thats all for now...

Good night... and good luck
May the Force be with you!!!
