Whew!!! i never thought the candle I set burning on this blog would burn down the wiring of my house! Never in my wildest imagination had I imagined that the spark I talked about would coincide with the short circuit sparK and ultimately a small fire at my hosue. But that's true. It happened. Had a major voltage fluctuation and boom - there goes my electrical circuit. A small fire, a worried group of girls, and a clueless lady - I had a lot of things on my plate.
And then the electrician doesn't show up. I can't take a day off and the electrician can't make it a working day. We try to work with the fuse and shut one phase down and put the other two up but nope it doesn't work. We once again have smoke and fire coming out of the main board itself.
So we end up stuck in this situation where we have no power at home for more than 24 hours. And here's the bummer. The city all of a sudden seems to run out of candles!!! Seems like a big godly conspiracy against us but we can't find a decent candle. So all of us bring birthday candles and try to bring some light into our dark lives.
We are unable to cook since we have induction range at home which is again power operated. But no worries on that front. We have a lot of subways and udupis around here to sustain us. At least I can certainly survive for a day or two on these. I have already worked out a plan to get another electrician home today. Let's see how it works. Or else we still have those birthday candles to use!
So there we are - it starts with a candle and ends with a candle.
