20 hours power cut, not seven
The newspapers may have reported only seven hours power cut, but that definitely wasn’t the case!
After about ten hours of no power, I wondered if we would get the electricity back anytime soon. Well, we did, a full twenty hours later.
Added to that we had a total blackout around 12.30am which lasted for another eight hours or so. Kept tossing and turning in my bed for a good portion of the night with huge mosquitoes hovering all around me.
When I finally did fall asleep, it was time to wake up 
Have to hit the books now. There’s a lot that has happened in the past which I still need to find the time to blog about. However, for regular updates to my life you can signup to receive updates via Twitter or Jaiku.

Wow, 20 hours of power cuts? We occasionally get short outages, but nothing like that. We have a bigger problem here with brownouts and spikes, sudden “off/on” cycles that can damage electronics. Almost all my stuff is on surge protectors because of that.
Hope your power is back to normal for a while.
It has been normal today. However, with load shedding being applied, most weekends are without power. We got gensets that run, however only a limited power points work
Glad to know that I am not alone.
7 hours of powercut!!???? We in Kerala are cribbing about 30 minute power cuts
@Binny, somehow glad … I wish none of us had it!
@Jayson, In many places it is worse. I really wonder why the sad situation!
Man 20 hours !!! that’s too much. Used to have like 10 – 15 minutes power cut occasionally but not anymore.
20HRS !!!!
Man i cant live without power for more than 3Hrs
and how anyone can live like this ?
Well, it’s worse on weekends. We don’t have power all through Saturday and Sunday!
It happened to Philippines before and its really dissapointing
20 hours! We could never deal such a long time. What about the refrigerator and all the food in it? I definitely would use a laptop with battery if power cuts every now and then. Then you would lose your text or whatever work you where doing with the laptop.
