Weekend without E!
Bangalore and Electricity do not go together and especially on weekends! Grrrr…..!!! Needless to mention, we have inverter to cope up with it. But how long???
As usual, I got up thanking god its Saturday and I can sleep a lot lot more in the mornings! And was about to doze off when power went off. In my half awake state, I calmed myself on seeing the black inverter box next to my bed. The fan was still on. Zzzzzz…..! But then after 3-4 hours, inverter’s battery drained off and me too! I just could not imagine my weekend start without electricity. I had some good plans to cook tasty food. Undeterred to give in, I decided I will continue with my plans as usual. And I am really happy now writing this piece which otherwise would not have been possible.
I could prepare the planned dhaba sytle food.. more details @ http://aromaofmykitchen.blogspot.com/2010/06/dhabahome.html
And unexpectedly, the evening (yes there was no electricity till evening) turned out beautiful. We stayed on terrace full evening under slight drizzle with mild music and few books! No electricity made it a perfect weekend evening.
Wow! First time, no complaints for electricity!
I just enjoyed. And will not write more but rather share few pics which Darshit took.

Thank god the rain gods are lenient towards us! So, the heat is bearable and we can enjoy small pleasures in the terrace! Next time, you are on apartment hunting, check for places with 100% backup! It helps! 🙂
Yes you are right Nona.. Now I know the list of things to check before moving into any of the Bangalore’s appartment 😀
Thats how to turn things in awesome light..when there is no light
“When life gives you power cuts..have candle light dinner”-Sorcerer
hahaha.. but you know there were days when we really got pissed off with forced candle light dinners 🙂
Oh Vineeta… Its you!! How are you?? You are on wordpress now??!! I was wondering where you disappeared…. The monsoon skies look beautiful…
Hey Pats.. I kind of lost many blogger friends in my blog makeover 😀 But happy to be back and even happier to find my blogging friends back 😀
nice pics 🙂 Heard B’lore is pretty cool…we don’t have too many power cuts within the city here 🙂
Oh u r very lucky… which city r you in???
We got an inverter… This is not fair 😦
I want to enjoy too!
hehehe… I am sure you will still be getting many such chances becoz inverter works only for 3-4 hours and bangalore electricity mostly goes off for 8-9 hours 😛
glad you converted a liability into an asset!
way to go!!
Yeah after cribbing for an hour 😛
oooh lovely!!! The pix and the mood u described! Must have been good to listen to music with a light drizzle as a backdrop, and that heavenly sky!!! Nice!!! :)))
Yesss!! Unexpectedly delightful 😀 Sometimes well planned things do not give you as much joy as this unplanned things do 😀
