When I started to write this letter, I was all sweating, sitting in my room. Not that I am residing in a remote village without access to electricity but I live in Chennai— the metro city. The scheduled power cuts introduced by TNEB in Chennai has begun this day.
The power cut proves the awesomeness of my ceiling fan. It seems that even after procuring electricity for many crores per day, our electricity board is not able to supply uninterrupted power to everyone.
Now I realise the hardships faced by people in rural areas where there is a routine 3 to 4 hours power cut. So from this day I have taken a vow that I will never waste electricity in my life. Even though I am not sure how much I would really contribute, by doing this I want to do my part hoping that if we can all join in to save electricity, we could make it count.
I hope all the readers will join me and together we can save man's most utilitarian creation – electricity and brighten our future. My one hour of punishment for today is over as the power is restored.
