Power(less)ful Sunday morning!

sunday morning, a time to sleep. SLEEP!! something i've been getting very less of now days thanks to 5ps/min night speak on vodafone!

its one thing to be woken up from a imthesaviorofmankind-icanmakeAngelinaJoliepurrforme dream just because you have to piss. (you can probably take on the joker, the trinity killer, gabbar singh and even mugambo while fooling around with Jolie, but u cant hold your pee!) what makes it way more worse is waking up on a sunday at 8:30, when no one is at home just because the power is out. 

just how dependent are we on electricity? VERY! i know that electricity has complete control over everything i do. that is not the problem. the problem lies in the fact that i can do nothing about it. how do i disconnect 'myself' from the grid? benjamin franklin, faraday, thomas edison and such charged ones must be all looking down with contempt at me. "what does a guy have to do these days to earn some respect?"

i head down hoping that some anda-toast will disconnect the 'i-want-to-disconnect' guy from me. with considerably lifted spirits i begin studying automobile engineering from Kirpal Singh (i really like the name Kirpal!). after 2 hours of grumbling i check my watch.. it says it has been only 25 minutes. maybe i got warped into a parallel universe which magically appears every time the power goes off. 

my productivity seems to have dropped a few hundred percent. i managed to complete only 3 pages in half an hour (normally would have done about 10. and yes, it IS a big number)

above the deafening and mocking roar of the generator next door, i hear the whisper of my laptop calling me… begging me to put it to use. thank god (read steve jobs) for the brilliant invention that is the macbook pro and the brilliant-er invention that is its 10 hour battery. it gave me the inspiration to start penning, or clicking down my thoughts. and thus begins the long wait...

nonetheless there is light at the end of the tunnel (figurative light, because the power is not yet back) the leftover ice cream from yesterday was lurking somewhere in the freezer. someone had to eat it, cant let half a tub of naturals ice cream go waste, can we? throw in a few episodes of modern family and you have a power cut well spent…

P.S. the unit for electricity is WATT (what… what… what???) :D
