Northern India Region- no power!

For almost 8 consecutive hours the government of India had decided to keep the Northern Indian region in darkness. Everybody was upset with the mishap. Most of the people didn't know that something like this was to occur, in spite of constant announcements in the newspapers, and at various metro stations. The power cut had been in 5 states and 1 union territory namely, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar pradesh, Uttarakhand and chandigarh.

People were devastated and thought as though the power cut was the end of their lives. Facebook statuses were updated, people tweeted on how lame the government is and what not. Telephone helplines of power suppliers likes BSES and NDPL were flooded with phone calls. People were annoyed and the annoying nature was really visible.

But, being a population of 300 million, nobody was aware in spite of the various pre-announcements regarding the power failure. Even, the Prime Minister who puts up in New Delhi, had to undergo the failure. After, the power was restored, electricity returned and lit everyone's houses.

People in spite of facing an 8-hour-long power cut, didn't learn how to respect what they had. Within 30 minutes of the return of power, the water tanks had overflown and the load on the electricity transformers had risen to a very high extent.

It was like people were trying to get even on the government. Is that what we are? A nation fighting against a government where all out ministers want is the welfare of the country. Instead of welcoming our new president, Mr.Pranab Mukherjee, all we are doing is cursing the Indian government.

Is that what a nation should do?

I am not categorizing anything as right or wrong, I'm just posting in a point of view.
To decide, lies upon you people.

Till then,
Thank you people.

In the midst of everything I forgot to say tat Gagan Narang bagged the gold medal for India in the London Olympics 2012.

Go Indiaaaaaa! :D
