"Let There Be Light....."

.....but the UPS still kept screaming.After all,it's ISM we're talking about.You think they give a damn about the Holy Bible or have any respect for Genesis (or do YOU for that matter ?) ? Ever had the audacity to try and make a count on the number of power cuts in a day here ? Wait,maybe I'm asking the wrong question 'cause most people I know have ample free time......if you can play CS for such insanely long sessions (P.S: I have uninstalled it from my computer),or watch the same socially tabooed video for the 43rd time,or have enough time to read Blogs like this.....you might as well be maintaining a detailed log record for that too!And if so,please let the MD people (bless them!) have that record and don't worry about giving away your intellectual property (provided you know what it is and/or how much of it you posses).

Power cuts are even more irritating when it catches you when you are on an ISM road (night time of course),add a bicycle to this and you have a recipe for disaster.The number of street lamps here,I feel is of the order of as many politicians in our nation who can tell apart a Commando Guerrilla from a prime ape gorilla (how many of you knew that India has the 3rd largest standing army in the world.....conveniently left to hatching eggs on the borders?).So even if there actually is power,it hardly helps you navigate through the rugged and deadly terrains of ISM roads while you are on a bicycle,unconsciously but constantly praying for the safety of your genitals with each jerk.

Now,what do we do when there is a power-cut?Of course the regular cursing and maledictions doesn't count.The most probable option it seems to me,"cell phone jala na yaar",even though there is a starlight sky above (being an armature astronomer myself,I sadly admit that air pollution has led me change the definition of "starlight").Or for the other more "macho" guys,the solution is readily available,the lighter or a matchstick.After all,don't they say "Ek maachis ki tili saalon ki andhere ko hara sakti hai" ?Ya sure,a philosophical way to justify smoking......But really,what happens when that match stick starts burning out slowly?Dying in front of your eyes?Doesn't it seem familiar?That flash of light we all have experienced in our lives.....maybe some 2 years ago......how is that matchstick doing now?.....Aah,snap out of it,those are dangerous words!Don't even bother....."ab potha ho gaya hai yaar,MATIYAO!" .

I know thats as much as I could penetrate to your non-existent senses.So lets call it off a day by completing the phrase......

"....And God said, Let there be light:and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day....."

(....."yeh kya potha tha?" )
(....."pi gaya yaar!")
