Power cuts in nothing for Navi Mumbai, (New Bombay). Here power cuts could vary from a couple of hours to as long as the authorities deem fit, which is dictated by the need of South Mumbai and the whims and fancies of the authorities.
I have just one problem. Recently, the excuse given for the rampant power cuts, apart from the routine load shedding was blamed for the lack of rains. I really don't know the technicalities there, but one connection I can make was that the promise was made when we were in the middle of an impending election. Should i read anything more into it or is it just a coincidence. I hope it is.
But, even after we've been blessed by the rain gods and have been clobbered with rainfall, there seem to be no end in sight for the power cuts. Take for instance, at my place in Airoli, we had a succession of 5 power cuts. 3 in the day and 2 in the night which make sleep miserable as the bugs and mosquitoes come out to play.
If this is the current state of affairs, i cant imagine what will be the situation when the unforgiving summer hits. Lets hope for the best, and hope that electricity providers show us some mercy!!

I guess, being a netizen of "the satellite City" i can safely say that undue onus is placed on the people. its similar to saying that Delhi is reaping the benefit while Mumbai is toiling.
