Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 very interesting facts Aasawari madam.... I will forward them to my friends too...!!! about the electricity issue... well, I am far away, so guess, I am not affected by it.. but my mom is fed up with the frequent load shedding and power cuts... at least, Mumbai is much better than other cities.. I think Pune is horrible as far as power cuts are featured... but whats more interesting is that people have taken the power cuts as something for granted... we have resigned to the fact that " thursday ko 9-5 light nahin rahegi " .. I remember even during my wedding, my bride could not get her make up and hair style done properly as there was a power cut at her beauty parlour place.. well, thats life...... electricity nahin, paani nahin, ... and we want to be as developed as " shanghai " Ameet 1993 > > To all > > Check out these facts. > Thanks kishore da ill put the photos soon .
