Electricity

The electricity on Ananda Shila would cut out for a few hours on a good day. One time, we were entirely without power for a whole week...First there was the exploding distributor caused a blackout in 200,000 homes for a few days, while the power station and the electricity company argued over who was responsible for its repair.Then, two hours after the distributor was fixed and the electricity returned, some great friend of society decided to steal a stretch of aluminium power cable (at great risk of personal injury) to sell at the market...Such things that we take for granted in the West.Ananda Shila,Jharkhand state, IndiaJourney to the East set
