One Shockful Lesson

It was ugadi evening.. Unusually hot day in Bangalore. Our ceiling fans were also struggling in heat.they were running as if they have deeply taken the moral of story of rabbit an tortoise.Slow and steady wins the race... KKR were struggling too against CSK on their home ground.
Then suddenly, to our surprise, a lightening happened as if Goddess of Power blessed us, and fan started dancing in Joy. Seems it reaches the finishing point of the race and now dancing with Joy. We thought "oh so it was Voltage that was causing our fans to go slow like a tortoise".. Our faces also lit up with smiles, Finlay bit relaxation in this heat.
CSK also won comfortably and we switched off TV, off to the bed using remote control. Laptops were also doing overtime in night and were kept on even in sleep mode. :)


We Woke up quite early due to hot and humid conditions, as fan was not running, We thought there's no electricity. But an hour later we realised that Mosquito killer "All Out" is twinkling, may be indicating the fate to follow. So Power is there but fan has reached final destination and ran it's last race. Soon we found that "Internet devta" also gone as connecting white box's lightening green eyes seems to gone emotionless.
Then only we Realized it was not Goddess of Power but Lord Shiva with his Destructive eye open for creating new shristi.
It was Really sad scenes all over. with Dejection in heart, we left for office. Then suddenly House Owner came as Angel send by God. Aware of last night tandav, he was planning to replace fans. This gave us Bit of hope and solace.


We Reached office in 20 mins and then It turned out to be After Shocks as in case of massive earthquakes.. laptop's AC Power Adapter was also found dead. It was supreme sacrifice to Save big Bro Laptop.then whole day we Struggled to get process to get adapter replaced finally and finally got to know right process at the end of day only.
We reached home deliberately late, knowing there will be no fan. But to our surprise electrician was ready to replace fan, and replaced both. it was like begining of new shristi.. new fans came and were dancing in joy of freedom.


But The biggest shock was yet to come. As soon as we switched on Our Lifeline the so called Idiot Box "TV" . It was shivering and screen was trembling in sock. And within 5 mins after admiring our idiotic act of keeping it in sleep mode and power on. It went into "maun samadhi". I think it had no words to explain our stupidity so It went "Speechless".


Thanks to Lalid Modi, we have IPL. And i think First time ever we watched Sachin Thrashing Bowlers in a silent mode.Watched MI thrashing DD and went to sleep.. This time TV was fully disconnected from the source of power and all other equipments except new fan.... But we have already learnt our lesson and God is too kind and busy to give lessons every day to same person.
It was Real life example of thousands of ad saying save electricity. Switch off all electric equipments when not in USE. We would never forget it now.....:)
