It was a late summer night and the hour hand of the clock had ticked 10 and I was reading Archie comics after having a bath and brushing my teeth. I was enjoying the conditioned and cool air by the AC. Suddenly the light went out (in Gurgaon it usually comes back after some time but as I was in Lucknow I headed towards the generator). Over there, to my horror one of the main switches had caught fire. I had to sleep without electricity for one night! I removed my shirt and then thought that in the older times they had to sleep without any fan or any AC, thinking this and getting inspired by the olden times on this fact I slept peacefully (as I did not wake up to face the scorching heat of the room).This night was very painful.
