Dark ages

Bangalore, by the way, has electricity. I mean, every house is connected to power lines, charged every month, you can use it as much you want and pay up. So did we. Except for the paying part. We delayed it by a little less than 3 months. But we did pay. We used citibank to pay our electricity bills, which apparently hasn't reached the electricity board for whatever reasons that we havent explore. Thus leading to disconnection of power lines and leading us to the dark ages quite literally - we havent had electricity at home for little over a week. This said, I have proactively paid the same bill again, in cash, desperately hoping get back electricity. This only to stay part of civilasation, not exactly to get some light at night.
This also means there's no television running which I miss a lot. I get all impatient without it. Solution - spend more time at office. I reach home at 1 am after work, and wake up at 9am, only to reach office by 12pm. Thats my changed schedule to reduce the impact of the "dark".
I called up the electricity board to get the connection back. The person answering quite rudely asks me for the address and vaguely says it will be done today. I have no hope of that. Means I reach home only at 1am again. The connection is quite simple. I just need a knife (or anythig sharp that can cut plastic on a wire), and a screwdriver to fix it. But lets just call it laziness.

Although there's no hot water geyser running, I still manage to take a hot water bath.
