Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply. The residents honestly endured the unsatisfactory situation with the support of an inverter up to 07 a.m.  Certain families moved to their relatives' places to beat the heat.  Even the political leaders kept on asking for the exact timing of the restoration of the normal electricity supply.

Entering into softer seasonal shift


On Tuesday night, we received a tremendous surprise. We are firmly in the midst of a softer, more relaxed period of seasonal shift. The unexpected rain reduced the intense humidity, and the hapless residents were really concerned about the prolonged electricity outage. 

It was only restored at nearly 9:40 p.m. last night. The incessant cool breeze kept the people pleased until the electricity was ably restored.

The sudden arrival of rain, for a certain unspecified time, was unexpected, though surely everyone must have welcomed it. Definitely, there’s something about Jajmau that makes its residents enjoy themselves nicely. 

 It was not devoid of thunder and flashes of lightning. It certainly gave a sense of dread among all those residents, realising the big bang of the thunderstorm. It was nature's surprise simply. 

Did we not start talking about the fresh dose of rain? “Oh,” residents hushed, suddenly aware of the Delhi earthquake, “maybe we should just talk about it afterwards.” Surprising!

There remained darkness for long hours. The inverters stopped working. The weather certainly changed in the first two hours of the afternoon. The air was soothing to the body. 

Does it not hint at comingcoming of rather the new season? Is it possible to stay inside the house when your lives have faced such different experiences? “Of course,” Someone doubted. “We don’t talk about natural rains. We just talked about money stuff in Jajmau.”
