These days we are having a tough time here getting our sleeps.Such frequent power cuts have even failed the working of the inverter.My mom came and asked "are you getting sleep" i said "yes".But really it was very hard.Mosquitoes are a bonus trouble.I was totally soaked in sweat.I took my pillow,a bed sheet and a sheet to cover myself and went upstairs on the terrace.Then it was just a few minutes that i went to sleep.
Suddenly I opened my eyes and found that there was drizzle of rain.I quickly put my cell phone in the pocket and went downstairs taking everything with me.And lo! even now there was no electricity.Such is the horrible condition.At least I got a few hours of deep sleep but my parents who were there inside the room all this long really made me feel sad.Such is the case with most of the houses in my city or perhaps the country.
When yesterday the current came back it just came out of my mouth in front of my mother,"I give a lot of blessings to the person who discovered electricity".
Imagine how our life would have been if there were no electricity known to us.I think this one discovery is the basis of all the human development.I looked at the almirah in my mother's room and wondered how could they have possibly welded it without the electricity!This computer wouldn't be working without the electricity.
Just now we have only a month or two's trouble with power cuts which make our life hell but then we can think of those villages where people still live with minimum electricity usage.They still have a wonderful life of their own.
We are so busy sitting infront of our computers,watching movies,playing games,watching television.But they don't have any such entertainments.But they know how to enjoy life.The whole village sits under the shade of a large tree laughing,giggling,gossiping.They do hard work,till their fields,drink the water in all its sweetness,eat the fresh fruits from the trees which they themselves have grown and it the biggest satisfaction when you take the bite of the fruit of a tree which you have planted and then they come discuss the day with their dear ones and sleep.The dreams don't disturb them as much.They sleep outside with the fresh breeze blowing past them.This is life! This is Life !
Why make your life easier?Electricity makes our lives easier in manifold ways but what is the use?what do we get in the end?Depression,arthiritis,boredom? It is in our hands what we make of a facility.Benjamin Franklin gave us the gift of electricity and made us so much advanced,he made the world SMALLER but what use if the whole world is like that.Are we heading towards becoming future morons?I don't like the idea but if we look into are lives we are surely heading towards it.We are busy looking on the screens for most hours of our day.Have we seen the beauty of sky in years ?
Electricity is a blessing indeed which we have taken for granted.If we could learn to accompany nature for a little time each day,to connect with it,we can save much of the electricity.Just now we are happily sitting there not bothered about our future,but time is not far that if we don't mend our ways we will not be able to generate much electricity.
Of course we are so lazy that we don't step forward and use the non-conventional sources of electricity.We seem to still be waiting for the THE day to come when those people come out and say "So we dont have any more coal to produce electricity" and then we will gear up.Such is the follery in which we are living.We are exploiting the mother.Our Mother,The Nature Mother and think its going to bear with us indefinitely.Although the nature has shown so many times that don't go to such an extent that you regret for your ways after wards.That your future generations live a life of misery.
So give yourself a gift and learn to consume less electricity,learn to enjoy more and make your house the first in the colony to use solar electricity !

My first post
I have given my 12th exams just now and now i am here with this free month of july waiting for my college to begin from 2nd of august.Its really nice to see how i passed my school which was concluded with a dream like farewell party and a lot of love from every direction.I had a few regrets about the things i did not do in school like playing well(or trying to do that),not making MORE friends...not studying that hard.but it is all ok in the end when i see not a single complain from anyone.I thought i would be thrown away from the society because of getting low marks,but it did not happen.Thank God !
Atlast I have got admission in English Honours for which i had been praying from a very long time.I had some long discussions with some of my elder relatives that English Honours will not give me a good career.But i have vision of what i have to do next.I am ready to work hard and i have supports to always bear with me.Its a nice feeling !
