The power cuts are a real pain. It puts life into a grinding halt.
No TV.
No computer.
No charging laptop.
No charging phones.
No microwave.
No lightbulbs!
Whoever invented electricity should have known better than to make life dependent on it!
Nonetheless,
think the KEB authorities forget that even the UPS power backing system can't survive long enough without electricity.
It irks me when I notice main roads illuminated with billboards reading RIDICULOUS punch lines near a celeb's silly smile; Bus stops lit with 30 vertically placed lightbulbs! (the same effect can be achieved with 9-12 horizontally placed light bulbs!) And have you noticed that of late, there are more than one bus stop at the same location? Take the Guttahalli bus stop for instance. What's the point in having three bus stops of three different sizes? It just confuses people even more!
Are the concerned authorities so blind? If we stopped using electricity for useless hoardings running all night from 6pm to 7:30 am the next day, and allow only important ones such as hospital numbers, then we'd be saving a lot of energy! Apparently, a source from a newspaper article stated that Bangalore has 25 lakh billboards! (statistics taken from 2008 paper) Most take away the light from the street lamp as they tend to be brighter. This distracts the driver.
The power cuts though are far greater a trouble for students during their exams, for watchmen, for pedistrians and for drivers! Simple measures can do simple wonders. It's time someone shook BESCOM and KEB to the realities. If a 20 yr old can find solutions, so can they!
