Just read the news..

Here's an excerpt:
However, that’s not all. In case the rain situation does not improve, Bangalore could face power cuts lasting over six hours.

In the TV, they say even other major cities/villages in karanataka will face the same :x

well, if they are not that hot atleast they will provide enough power to run lights... who needs fan then ?

and for PCs, get an OLPC with a hand crank for charging :lol:

The govt was supposed to start power cut from today.. but they didn't. Maybe coz of those blasts.

We have an average of 1-2 hours of powercut everyday, depending on th area. Some areas are relieved of that trauma.

Hey guys.. Himachal is jannat.. no power cuts.. not even once a month.. they will notify people one day before when they want to shut down electricity supply regarding repairs.. and man the rate of electricity is cheap too.. 70p upto 150 units.. >150 units is 90p.. i don't get more than Rs. 300 bill of two months.. even though I run my PC 18-20 hrs a day..

Luckily I'm out of Bangalore for the next few days and we do have power here round the clock. Though no computer here but I got my mobile, so things are ok.

Oh...powercuts everywhere.
Here in my place electricity goes off for atleast 7 hours.
5:30 to 9:15 in the morning, again from 1pm to 5pm, and sometimes 10 to 11:30 in the night. The timings are flexible. :D
