Lights Out !!

So recently I had an electricity breakout at my house. But still there was light, obviously because of the inverter. Also I made sure Internet works, even if my fan wouldn't. Thats what smart guys do you see. They prioritise their life priorities. But no one can avoid a catastrophe. 

A child enters my house and I don't know why attacks the pituitary gland of the house. Now the router seemed to be working fine but there was a slight change. The wire had been disturbed. If you live in Europe or America you wont understand what I am saying. But in most Indian homes the plug point works at a definite angle and if at all it is disturbed It turns into your girlfriend and starts fore-playing with you. 

Not every time you hit a bulls eye on the dart board. Even I couldn't this time and  by the grace of that sweet little devil, My Internet Stopped Working. Now, this situation is relatable anywhere in the world. 

I suddenly had no idea what to do. Thoughts like what am I doing with my life start cringing me. But then I found my 4G activated smartphone which used to show LTE but today it was showing E. That is equivalent to having a car without fuel or buying Nike shoes with no intentions to run. 

Surprisingly I found a strange noise from the other room out of a Black Mirror I had been neglecting since very long. I never knew my T.V works even with the lights out. Then I decided to save myself from the useless trap of unending Indian Daily Soaps and watch News Channel. 

I am in a habit of reading news from my phone at my Western Closet and the timing is so perfect that my news for the day gets finished at the same time. If you know what I mean. Hence I am in a habit of grabbing almost 10 news snippets in a minute. But the news channel was looping the same 15 second clip I had already seen in the morning for the past 15 minutes. 

Finally I decide to switch of the only entertainment present in my life and I thought : Do we need news 24x7 ?

I mean, Is so much information required ? That the news channels would have so much time that they would have to make up Fake News, Show Standup Comedy, Loop Youtube Clips, have Unnecessary Pseudo Intellectual One Sided Discussions even after running such heavy Advertisements.

Now I know that Neither am I presenting you with a solution like: daily news should be compiled & presented to people advertisement free, Nor am I predicting future like: there would be no channels, but only apps presenting information on certain platforms. But people at the top of Capitalist food chain are surely not going to make this happen any soon.

Like a bliss, electricity comes back and the life force in the ecosystem gets restored. I can't imagine of a world where there is no electricity and people have nothing to do but to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere on this blue-green life giving sphere. But the times of chaos brings things of life into perspective and the importance of smaller things in lives are felt. 

The point being that certain tribulations like these give an insight about reality. They distract us from the era of Too Much Information !! which have become our reality and get us one on one with oneself. I hope I face such situations with great strength and I look forward to battling my own thoughts whenever I get a touch of reality. As it is rightly said when the going gets Tough, the Tough get Tougher. 

*And my internet connection gets back to life again.*

Sometimes I feel I have become so Sarcastic that my Sarcasm has a Sarcasm.
