No matter how advanced our science might be today, it still is no match for the nature.
What are we prepared for?

Mobile Light Dinner
I just had dinner in the light provided by my mobile phone.
Apparently that’s the only form of light besides the LCD Screen of my Laptop I have at the moment due to the lack of power supply since last night. I believe we got just around 1-2 hours of supply since last night.
Power Situation in Gurgaon
Summers are just starting and we already have a huge problem here. I think we have had no power in Gurgaon since like 12 hours. My Inverter has conked off on just a laptop and the modem with one fan…
It’s still shouting with the fan off. I don’t know what I am going to do after noon time.
Gurgaon
Non Gurgaon Resident says:
I will kill the power department chief today
Power goes every now and then
Gurgaon Resident responds:
Come to Gurgaon
And u would become a serial killer
Diwali Gone. Power cuts Back.
So, the Gurgaon city administration decided that they would give a small gift to the people living here. They announced their decision to provide full time power supply for the weekend featuring the Diwali festival.
Now, that the festival is gone… Power cuts are back. And I am somewhat scared that they would be worse than ever for us.
Power Supplies in Gurgaon
Am I alone thinking so or Gurgaon is really getting really bad power supplies these days. I have a feeling we do not even get 12 hours of supplies nowadays. And this is when people would not be even running fans at most of the times.
What a terrible week it has been
Shocked by the insane electricity bill, I got another shock today when my Airtel Broadband line went down big time.
Not a regular downtime… The telephone line has gone dead and so has the net connectivity. What can I do about it? Nothing.
Left car outside the house for a couple of hours and what we have here? Brand new scratches. No, someone did not hit my car… It’s the neighbor kids who did the damage. What can I do about it? Nothing.
So, I tried playing Wii for a while. No can’t do. Power cut messes up an interesting game of tennis with the computer which is now playing like Pete Sampras with my near 2000 points.
I wait for a while. I wait for sometime more. Power comes back. So I turn on the Wii to play some Bowling. Excellent game. I tried spinning the ball this time and I had fun.
I became a Pro. Got a brand new sparkling ball! It slides even more. What fun.
Oops. No. Yet another power cut.
I decided to blog. This is the only thing I can do right now. And I hope net would come back alive today. So that I would be able to put this ranting online. For all you guys who love to make fun of my terrible life!
APC UPS in Indian Conditions
Update: THE WORST UPS YOU CAN BUY IF YOU ARE IN INDIA.
I have experienced it and Brian has just confirmed it. The UPS system from APC specializes in disconnecting the power supply (due to fluctuation I guess) when the power comes back! Not when the power goes…
He also notices the random shut downs of the UPS which happens for no apparent reason. Some American technology this is! Even when they are making the UPS systems in India now, they have not learnt from the Indian conditions.
