0.000 HBDAn instance from everyday life during heavy rains
A quick post describing what it's like to live in a small city in India during a monsoon season and what it's like to work from home dealing with basic necessities like electricity. Growing up in the early 90s in a city that receives heavy rainfall: Electricity cut 5-20 minutes before it rains heavily and no electricity for the next 6-10 hours (more sometimes) or intermittent supply of electricity if you're lucky! Life in 2019, some 30 years later: Electricity cut 5-20 minutes before it rains heavily and no electricity for the next 6-10 hours (more sometimes) or intermittent supply of electricity if you're lucky! Power backup luckily ensures my work isn't affected for the most part. After bugging my local ISP for a year (couple of years ago), he now has sufficient (kinda insufficient IMHO) power backup to supply internet for 6-8 hrs before his backup runs out and I'm back in the stone ages as mobile data remains crap at my place as always as a 'dependable' backup option. If electricity comes back on early, it is a good indication rain may stop or slow down. But I'm basically thrilled as my ISP has electricity now! In the last two hours as I was contemplating posting this here, we've had 2 short power cuts as the intensity of the rain increased and it's 2.30 am already! 😂 Life is a Jugaad here no matter how many advances in technology. 😆 If you are wondering what 'Jugaad' means don't forget to Google this awesome Indian word. It has so many application. Infact it was a key word during the SF2 keynote speech ;) But as far as my hometown is concerned, I guess somethings never change in this country. --------- **If you like my work kindly resteem it to your friends.
