In this picture: Electric poles from several places in Mauritius.
9 hours without electricity during a day at home is not the most desirable thing that can ever happen to anyone. By a sheer lack of luck this happened to me today. The power cut started before 9 in the morning and ended at 6 in the evening, leaving me with nothing to do except accomplishing those tasks that I have been procrastinating for so long.
So I cleaned my desk, practised wearing make-ups and sarees and I ended up looking like a travesti, which is not a bad thing in itself cause some of them are beautiful. But I did not look like the beautiful ones. I know I know, I'm pissing you guys off by not posting a picture, which I certainly have, but you know I have this ego thing that prevents me from posting such pictures.
Aargh, enough said. I feel like I'm getting too personal, but after 9 hours without electricity I feel like hugging the machines and telling them how much I've missed them. Damn! I definitely need a shrink and rehab for that matter.
And I've made up my mind, I'll be making a list of potential activities in case of a powercut. Any suggestions?

ReplyDeletei always make lists but always fail to follow them. lists don't like me.

I want to see that travestite pic of yours. Remember how you always have a funny story about me? Well I need one too. And that pic is the key... HAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteEnough said. I know exactly how you feel when you say you feel like hugging those machines.
Keli, I have a feeling the list won't work with me as well. About the picture, I'll be posting it soon, once I've figured out how or else it'll be a mail! whaha!
ReplyDeleteJev, that's one of the reasons why you won't get to see the picture! :u
Light's come back then... So, what does it look like to be an Indian Joker ? Anybody interested in playing The great flu? Head over to my blog :-)
ReplyDeletei laughed so much when i read this post. :)
ReplyDeletesarees for what? i never try them unless there's a wedding somewhere soon. how do u manage to walk in them? and omg going to the toilet seems almost impossible to me :s
ReplyDeletenext time there's a power cut during the day, go out and have fun :D
lol! try some gardening, hand embroidery, knitting! Or write birthday cards in advance them you'll just need to post them when the day comes (unless you only send email ones now!) ! hahah...don't mind me...just some silly suggestions!
ReplyDeleteI finally managed to have a look at the picture. And I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. ;) You look lovely in saree. :$
ReplyDelete@ Sachin, the great flu is a nice concept! :D
ReplyDelete@ Steff, glad I made you laugh. Though I am sure it's all because you're visualising me as a travestite! lol
Rooch, sarees for the wedding of my cousin, you know the one we talked about. lol, i can't manage to walk in sarees too. my mum tells me i walk like batman. haha!
Lovliebutterfly, hand embroidery is a great idea! In fact I have some embroidery work pending, i could have completed them, i completely forgot about that.
Jevin, thanks, those were the less messed-up photos.
well , if you want my opinion .. you could do loads of stuff during a power cut
ReplyDeletehelp jev wash the car , play texas holdem poker , wrestle with your dog , try to invent a new type of cig , try to draw a fingerprint , errrrr ..
Sleep, give a bath to the dogs, taking pictures, making pancakes (unless you have an electric stove!)...
ReplyDeleteBut thinking about it, I guess at some point I would have been very bored. 9 hours without electricity ... *gasp*
Morph, lol! Weird but fun suggestions! whahaha!
ReplyDeleteAngele, i did sleep and it was awesome. A good excuse to catch up on my naps. :P
Okay, my car is dirty because I drive through an on-construction zone. But yeah I should be less lazy and wash the car more frequently...
ReplyDeleteI meant "I drive through an on-construction zone everyday".
ReplyDeleteJev, I actually love Jazzie's "dirty look". :p
