RAINS AGAIN VISITED LAST NIGHT.It was pouring heavily and as expected the EB immediately swunginto action and the current has taken leave of absence.It has become a common sight that each house has an inverter .But the capacity of the inverter itself is stretched to its maximum when EB stretches the current cut for hours together.
But please be happy: there are villages which enjoy current, only for an hour or two these days and that way you should thank your stars that you have cuurent cut for only one or two hours.
AND WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH EB.
The government has got plenty of time to reel out statistics , in reply to the opposition as to how many new units they have installed, how many have commissioned etc. Both the Govt and the opposition knows that no one can verify these details!!perhpas they themselves have not verified the details..that is beside the point; the fact remains that gullible public are taken for a ride in these claims and counter claims. Poor common man suffers .
And when ever rain Gods visit, there is another side to it..
HEARD OF VEDANTHANGAL-a place near Chingleput in TAMIL NADU-a bird sanctuary.The day after the rains our house becomes a vedan thangal not only for birds (as there are quite a few trees around) but also to host of other beings.like reptiles, insects, frogs, crabs etc.In due course of time i think we may start seeling tickets to public to watch these rather odd species and make money. A good pass time will be there for me after retirement..Still there is no enmity to this house, rather the affection for this house keeps growing as it is not merely a house, it is a home.
YES ,A HOME,which was a silent witness to our mood swings,a testimony to so many important events in our life, a place wherein my son and daughter were given birth to, a place which enjoyed when we enjoyed and a place which sighed when we suffered ..Oh, i love this home and that is because it carries the love, affection , intimacy and above all the memories of the past and the present all embedded into it.
AND IF IT ALSO SHELTERS SO MANY OTHER BEINGS, BE IT SO, THE MORE THE MERRIER..AND THE MORE , THE HOME BECOMES MORE SWEET(no problem though diabetic!!)
applause pa: "a place which enjoyed when we enjoyed and a place which sighed when we suffered .." - isn't this the meaning of HOME in itself? :) Wonderfully written!!! :)
