The Black out
Readers who worked with me in 24/7 might fret the moment they see the word “Black-out” – reasons best known to us
. By the way I am not referring to a sports black out. We had an ‘unscheduled’ maintenance at the local power transmission office and there was no power between 10 AM and 4 PM! Luckily, the climate was bearable due to the movement of the monsoon clouds. Any trading manual suggest you to have an alternate source / back up system to face such circumstances. But I am sure, to have a back up power for 6 hours, you need to buy a commercial UPS.
With no electricity, I went back to my books and started reading them. After getting bored of it, I went and played with Snoofy (my dog). Later, mom wanted me to go to George uncle’s house to get some Malayalam weeklies. Utilizing the free time, I had a haircut and had my beard trimmed. Yesterday, I spoke to Mahesh and he said that he wanted to meet me. I invited him to my home for today. I checked with him when he’ll be coming and he informed me that he forgot that it was his mom’s birthday today and may be late today. We also had an appointment with Dr. Kiran Kumar (Dentist) today and had to be postponed for the evening as he was unable to make it to the clinic in the AM. As Mahesh was visiting in the evening, I convinced mom to change the appointment to tomorrow. Once it was done, I came to know from Mahesh, that he will not be able to come as his relatives wanted him to stay with his mom. So, finally, neither did I meet Mahesh nor could we meet the Dentist!
Today, there was a match between Spain and Switzerland. Although most Hyderabadis love the Brazil team, I love Spain and German team. To my utter shock, Spain lost to the Swiss 1-0. In tennis, the Spaniard snatched the game out of the Swiss this year. The Swiss paid back in Soccer

Not much an exciting day today (not an exciting night
). Hope you have a good night!
