During power cut what will you do???

What I will do when there is no power ? Its a good question.In our place the current is getting tripped unnecessarily,yesterday my computer restarted more than 3 times as they were turning off the power and turning it on again continuously.I felt so angry, as my computer do not have an UPS.Its makes me run crazy when the power goes.Thankfully we have got an inverter at home so thats relaxing me.I can watch TV when there is no power.Happy myLotting

Unless I am in the kitchen and need to use an electrical appliance, I usually don't even realize the power is off (during the day time). My computer has a UPS and I have disconnected it. Don't want to be too dependable on the computer. I'm usually doing something...and if the power goes off in the night, the generator works and we have a light and fan that works in each room. I can always read or do anything else I want to do then.

Usually during power cut, I usually will sleep or read book. I also don't like power cut. Without power, fan won't work and it will cause heat. I can't stand the heat. Power cut don't happen so often at my country. It happen only very few times. I rather have power cut on the day than on the night. I can't have good sleep if have power cut on the night.

as i have a little kid at home, its not possible to roam with her so i bought an electronic rechargeable fan which cost me rs.1500 only..so its a great thing to help my little to sleep well at power cuts,try to have a elect rechargeable fan. you can buy at madurai too at pondy bazaar

i am from hyderabad and we normally dont face powercut for long period of times, with in 10 or 15 minutes we get back the power.once in a month or so we have pre intimated power cut. then we shall plan to go out to watch movies or spend our time with friends,

to me, actually it is quite good. the last time we have a power cut, i brought my son to the park and we have a good time. it is also a good break away from home and computer. sometimes, this may be a blessing in disguise and i treat it as an extra opportunity to do things that i had always postpone previously. so may not be too bad after all. just look at it positively. get out of the house and it will be ok.

Hi All, My home town is Kolkata, India...power cut does not happen frequently there. But currently in Orissa where power cut is a daily routine. We have made arrangement for a inverter which supports a tube light and a fan during power cut. In case the power cut is a short one there's no problem for me but if it's a long one then my laptops battery usually goes out and life becomes boring.. :(

Hi there, Yes we have similar problems in Bombay here. And its getting worse day by day. According to sources we may face 6-8 hrs power cut daily. Well as it occurs early in the morning say about from 7-to 10.30 i usally do my morning chores that time. Taking bath and shaving and all these morning chores and they dont need electricity . Then i got to go office and thankfully i have invertor there. Its a huge problem generating in India. If we dont check our population now then we are inviting many more trouble in the future too . Cheers, Tutul

Hello,Vidyavini!I am from Bhubaneswar,Orissa.Fortunately in our city there is no power cut for the last couple of years.but it goes away most of the times during rainy season.whenever there is thunderstorm they cut the supply of electricity and we have to manage without it.but power cut in night make the life miserable.thanx.

I would find a book or write something, maybe go for a walk and see what parts of town have electricity, most stores have their own electric generators (?) and so maybe go shopping then.

Hi. Nice to meet you here. Recently my place also break down oftenly. It is at night time. During that time it is really bored and hot. The most worst thing is i cant sleep cause too hot. But luckily the power break down not long. But at that moment what can i do is only walk here and there or sit on the sofa and talk with family. Happy myloting!!!

We have generator at our home. So no problem during power cut.

First In My Place power wont go in morning hours. Powercuts usually will be in the evening, that too again rare case. Ok whenever there is no power I listen to music in my Sony Walkman [Its kind of IPOD], also i have few movies stored in that. If not I will sit and draw few sketches,(I love drawing in fact), in worst case i will go for sleep... I love sleeping too. But i wont sleep too much, I cant sleep in odd hours too.
