Light! Light!


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?

  5. 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

    Enough said. I know exactly how you feel when you say you feel like hugging those machines.

  6. 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!

    Jev, that's one of the reasons why you won't get to see the picture! :u

  12. @ Sachin, the great flu is a nice concept! :D

    @ 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.

  14. Sleep, give a bath to the dogs, taking pictures, making pancakes (unless you have an electric stove!)...

    But thinking about it, I guess at some point I would have been very bored. 9 hours without electricity ... *gasp*

  16. 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...
