Insanity Rediscovered

When I submitted the payment for the electricity bill last month, I somehow managed to type in a wrong date on the check, which led to it bouncing. I got the message through an SMS from my bank (ICICI).

Now, visiting the Power Department’s office to get a fresh bill is a hassle, so I decided to wait for the next bill considering I would be paying the late fees anyways. However, it was not to be. Yesterday some people from the power department tapko at my place threatening that they would cut the power supplies if I do not pay up within the next 30 minutes.

He told me to visit the Bijli Board ASAP and pay the dues. Sadly, when I landed on the doors of the Electricity Office, the accounts department dude told me that considering it was a Saturday, the office would not be accepting any payments.

Now, someone has to tell me what I should have done to keep the power supply to my house? Luckily, the dude who threatened to cut the power supplies never came back and I am going to submit the bill payment tomorrow morning first thing.

Umm… Now that I am writing this post and there is no power in the house… I am getting this errie feeling that I should check with my neighbor on whether this is indeed a power cut… Damn it…
