Tara came back from college after
finishing his morning Yoga and it was 8:30 in the morning. Out of thirst and perspiration
fished the fridge and observed while picking a juice box “What! Not cold?
What’s wrong?” he thought.
He looked around and discovered
that electricity wasn’t there. “Gosh!” he sighed, picked the bean bag chair and
walked to the balcony which had a breath taking view of the Pashan Lake. He
glanced through the newspapers and found a piece announcing additional load
shedding. The dams around Pune had dried up, the rivers were no good, and water
was now a prized commodity.
When life hooked to electricity
sometimes we take certain things for granted. In process of pandering ourselves
with TV, AC, Fridge, Vehicles and other innumerable
devices which consumes energy we should have paused and looked around to see if
we have not crossed any line.
