Did you say advantages.??? You heard me...
Yes, i am going to point you the positive sides of the power cut in tamil nadu..
Reduced Current bills
Yes, ofcourse the current consumpution got reduced.( Not for the people who got inverters at home.) What will be there to consume current hardly for a 12 hour power cut. So first thing, people are getting used to lead a life without power like our ancestors did. Use chimney lamps, use hand fan, use Ural and ammi for grinding and mixie.
Physical Activity Improvement
Using of manual equipments improve their physical stamina. using ammi by ladies helps to improve their stamina. Actually electrical equipments are curse to man kind. How can our grandmothers able to manage with the manual appliances and how does we lose them in name of modern marvel.
Actually, we are revisiting our past. Get the guidance from our grandparents.
Family Bonding
Are you kidding.? Do you mean family bonding.
Yes, I stress that much. Because after the 2 hour long power cut in the afternoon, there comes the rest for all TV programmes, games shows, dance shows etc. What will the children do to pass away the time. They insist their grandparents to tell them their own stories. Thus it helps to revisit the past of our ancestors and children tend to know about their family line. I dont complain this only happens during power cut. This never happens at all. who has time. Dad busy with his laptop. Mum busy with her kitchen work. Grandfather busy with News or Serials. Children busy with their gaming box. Current cut helps to reunite them to one roof and make them to chat among themselves. Grandfather mocking his son how he used to be at his early days. How he got beaten up from him. Dad hit him back with his comments. Children has lot to enjoy more than his video games. Finally, A whole disintegrated family becomes integrated.
Family Outing
I heard a family used to go outing when there is no power in their home. They go to beach or movie or shopping wherever they can to avoid being in dark. This helps to improve the family atmosphere. Wife is happier that her husband take her out. No more complaint about taking out for movie or shopping. Children dont get bored by seeing movies only in home theatre. Family head is forced to do so by this power cut. Anyway he too has to get relaxed. Chance for a candle light dinner.
Finally, whole family is happier than compared before.
Early office Closing hours
Many companies including cognizant has encouraged their employees to leave early and come early to office to avoid power usage during after hours. This helps the employees to wake early, start early, leave early and spend time with their family.
Finally, people get more brisker than before.
Power saving awareness
When we get everything in place, we actually forget to realise the importance of the thing we actually have. So previous days, we dont have the seriousness to save power. Now this power cut crisis has taught us to be a power saver. Saving tips is shared across facebook page, mails and messages. This is the real eye opener and which will make us to teach our next genration and for the next to come.
Finally, awareness caught our eye.
There might be lot more in your list. This list came from my mind. So you can also add yours...
SAVE POWER, SAVE FAMILY, SAVE WORLD..!!!!
