life's like that

the weekly eight-hour power outage continued for another five hours and the inverter batteries ran out.

don't miss the light


the neighbours upstairs renovated their kitchen the day before. the plumber worked on the pipes from my kitchen. aunty sat with me for the two-three hours, for my security, she said. then the next day, they painted it without notifying me and i now have paint splattered sill, pane, window and plants.

Ufff, one good deed canceled by another!

And so good of you to see the positive...about the diwali photo :-) I try to see the positive in these irritating things too.

We had a ac outage too last week....for 3-4 hours just when I was cooking and preparing for guests one day....and we have no fans in the apts here...so no ac is misery. Thankfully, it came back in time for me to cool off!

baap re! three-four hours must be too much in the Gulf. lucky things sorted out soon enough :)

and, wouldn't life be miserable without our sights fixed on the positive ;)

its gets you irritated for sure,when the people upstairs does something without telling you...or they dont listen to you telling there seepage on the roof..it happens always...
but as shalini said,positivity,this is real life...
