Got home after 6.30...and what do I come home to?Stillness and darkness all around-a power-cut when I get home at the end of the day!!just when you're looking forward to unwind and get a hold over yourself after the battering of the day....

No lights the whole evening,courtesy CESC-power was restored after 11.30,actually 12.30 because it went off again,came back,went and again came back--phew!!

And we are such a civil,disciplined society that we will get on with life tomorrow as if nothing had happened!!

A few will mutter and murmur,actually whimper,the rest,silent robots going on about their work and business as if it didn't affect them,couldn't affect them...

Fact is,we have turned ourselves into robots who go about their lives in robotic fashion without sparing a thought for what is happening around us-cocooned in our own existense,we don't wish to break open our shells....after all life doesn't stop even if a whole evening and a quarter of the night was stolen from you...

As a society,we've become numb and senseless-we are watching our own deaths,the slow demise of a once vital society whose insides today are hollow....
