Dear Readers,

 

There was a fault in our electricity line yesterday, so we were without electricity for most of the day. As the sun began to set, our hearts began to sink. What if the inverter runs out of charge? How will we sleep? In order to survive the night we had to think on a war-footing. We switched off all the electrical devices and did the unthinkable – climbed up the stairs with chairs, food, toys, and rugs. We have a big terrace with grass and a sitting deck. Kids wanted to set up a little picnic area, so we unrolled the rugs, and spread their toys for them to have fun. We also curated a food hamper, remembering to put everyone’s favourite delights. Thankfully, the crescent moon was glowing enough for us to see if we were eating the right thing. My mother found her friend doing the power walk on the next terrace. It was such a different feeling to see people on their terraces, it almost felt like a little get together. Soon, everyone started to talk across the terrace. Our children found it very amusing. Suddenly, someone started to hum a song. It was a catchy little tune and everyone joined him in a matter of minutes. And right when we were starting to really enjoy ourselves, my daughter shouted, “light aa gai”. But instead of a cheerful ‘Yay’, a disappointed ‘noooo’ filled the air!  

 

Enjoy the edition
