Summer heralds a lot of things in India.It gives a welcome break for our school and college going population.The onset of South west moonsoon is during the first week of june.The king of fruits,and juicy watermelons are available only during this season.It is a given that every family vacations during this season to escape the scorching heat , or to meet their kith and kin.
So , barring the cruel heat what plays spoiler to all the delightfull things that I have mentioned above?The term can be given by a famous equation P=V*I.Let me explain the nomenclature.
Here ,
P=>Frequent Power Cuts
I=>Intensity of heat
V=>Potential Difference(ie Amount of Energy required to bear the heat from the time the power goes off till the time its back again).
As we can see the terms are directly proportional.So by the above power equation it is inevitable that when the mercury touches the highest there is a power cut and vice versa.Higher value of P also means higher V which leaves us all in despair.
I was faced with a similar situation yesterday night.My room seemed like a oven manufacturing coking coal.I was sweating profusely,and adding to my irritation were the mosquitoes who reached a crescendo with their buzzing ,near my ears.In such situations we lose all our "Cool"mentally and physically.So how does a person brave 4 grueling hours of power cut in the night?
This is what I tried. I imagined myself swimming breaststroke in crystal clear , icy cool water.Some how I seemed to get serene and slowly drifted off to sleep , with these images rewinding again and again in my mind . I dont know whether this will work again, but iam thinking of a long term solution .Iam sure the only feasible one would be to buy a generator.Lets see .

You can try saying "Rama, Rama". Sleep will come soon.
3 Solutions I have tried in Chennai:
1)Ice-pack, but you might catch cold though!
2)Sleep in terrace, but mosquitoes once again!
3)Stay awake :P
If not a generator, u can try an inverter. Ideal for Chennai. U can have 2 fans and 2 lights running for 6 hours for each recharge. But AC doesnt work.

stay awake ..super solution :p , think ice pack will work , or slightly modified pour ice water in the floor and sleep :p
@Fairy
Thanks for inverter deatils , wil ask Dad :)
Do you sleep if the power is there? :P
@Doll
I am sleeping these days from 2 to 9 so thats seven whole hours ;)
