I didn't expect electricity at this hour today because the schedule, which has not been 'functioning' anyways, told otherwise. So stupid of me to try to rely on it. So, I was all set to sleep, after sessions of bubble breaker competition between Geeta, Naren dai, Suman and me in Naren dai's new HDC mobile phone (I hope I am right with this name)! Noone could break my record of course! A thing to really be proud of!! Suddenly, when all was set... after we exchanged good night wishes, the UPS (thankfully) beeped, signalling that the dark hours ended. I jumped off the bed, thinking I would give shape to some (17, I would call it some though!) drafts into a blog post. Phew... I ended up writing this new one, and I am not sure if this will too pile up as a draft or actually get published.
Until a little while ago, while my computer was already on, I had this urge to go through the pages of my diaries... I flipped through some of the pages and I can already feel so 'living in the past'... I wonder why I don't write in diaries these days! I mean I do write but not as often. I noticed that one of my diaries (I have eight diaries in total) is more like a scrap book - with pictures, drawings, photos, petals, four-petalled cloves, and what not... I have a feeling that I miss those lazy days, when I used to go to college in the morning, did part time teaching and nothing much. I used to have plenty of free time then. Now, I think I am too busy. I really am envious of my past!

Hi Poonam, maybe you were looking at the old schedule. 'Republica' has published a new load shedding schedule(17.04.2009) here: http://www.myrepublica.com/portal/index.php?action=pages&page_id=8
Hope it is reliable. Hearty greetings from Germany, Yurgan
Thanks Yurgan dai...
It is so amazing poonam..........Didn't we always think that we would be so free when we grow up and it has turned out to be the exact opposite? I cannot understand why do I always have to look for time to dig into myself and remind myself who I am all the time. I didn't have so much of confusion when I was young.
Quite true Neelam... in fact when I was young, I was pretty sure about my future too :P... but now, everything seems to be messed up, and I don't seem to get track of anything.
And yeah, an exact opposite of our childhood dreams - that we would be free once we grew up... We are now caught up in more chains than we could have ever imagined... work, studies, responsibilities... blablabla
Well, i don't know this load shedding problem because the university where i study provides electricity regularly even at the peak hour of loadshedding. But i usually listen such problem from my frens.
Anyway Good to see you blog Poonam.
Happy to read your post...thank god this wasn't saved in draft..keep on writing dearie...
