Blackouts

India was shaken by two blackouts on Monday and Tuesday (today is Wednesday). This was aimed at making us spiritual, and bringing us closer to nature. And to make us watch less TV- sorry, all the creative people at the TV channels! If India were winning medals at all the Olympic events, it might have been a different story!

We are too dependent on the material world, and not spiritual enough. Once the lights are off, it is easier to meditate. Also, we have a pool of arrogant (electrical) engineers who think they know what they are doing. They now know what they don't know. How to Manage a Grid. So now we can sue the colleges that gave them a degree and recover all our lost GDP.

How's that for a quick solution to multiple problems?

During Shivaji Shinde's rule (a 17th century ruler in west central India) there was Andher as in no electricity..so it was with a power minister by the same last name - coincidence?

Hmm, history has its uses. Thanks, Smita. Blackouts make you creative. Fasting only makes you groggy.:)
