BESCOM Service
Bangalore Electricity Supply (BESCOM) is doing a great service to society. In the age of nuclear families, where people engrossed in their favourite soaps don't spend much time interacting with each other, BESCOM has taken it upon itself to bring members of the family together.
What would a typical family (consisting of husband, wife, parents, kids) where both partners work, do on a weekend? Do some cleaning, washing, cooking etc all at a leisurely pace, and also relax with that long unfinished book and watch the DVD of the much talked about movie. As can be seen, not much time talking or indulding in some activity for all. BESCOM is on a mission - get the family together. So, they switch off the power supply for 8-9 hours each weekend for "maintanence".
You wake up in the morning to find that your water storage tank has run dry. So, you and your family members form a human chain to transport the water from its source inside your home. You had planned on trying out the new recipie you read on the internet. But there is no power to run the mixer. Solution - a family visit to the Thai restaurant in the neighbourhood. Your plans to watch the latest flick on the rented DVD have gone up in smoke. No worries, take the family out to one of the innumerable malls in Bangalore and have fun. And what about that unfinished book; well there is always the cozy seat in your favourite coffe pub where you can read it over endless cups of the beverage of your choice.
As for those of you who wanted to laze around at home watching mindless blockbusters, head to your friend's place in another locality. You see, BESCOM changes the target of its mission each weekend.
