Peeved, Electricity leaves Wall Street

Our bureau
Wall Street, March 19

Facing tremendoues Resistance, Volt and his companion Ampere, decided to part ways with Wall Street today. This meant that the residents of the area had to make do without the presence of Electricity for a parts of their day.

As we write this report, talks are under way to ensure that no further discomfort is felt, after all citizens lives are at stake here.

We spoke to Z, a citizen of Wall Street earlier today. "This is ridiculous. Why must they do such stuff on weekends, when everyone is home from work? Must we really be made to feel the pinch? And talk about timing, today there is an F-1 race as well. Thankfully I managed to see the last lap. But i still missed all the fun. Cant they do somethign about this? Really beginning to feel this place is devolving into a village. Its no wonder they call this place the IT Village!"

It is still unclear what caused the split. Sources close to all parties are extremely tight-lipped causing speculation that this may not be the last of the issue. In fact, this is not the first time that such an incident has occurred. Only last week, Electricity was not permitted to enter the area. The only difference is that last time around such an event was announced before hand, to ensure that nobody is overly inconvenienced.

The crisis for the day seemed to be over just after lunch when normalcy was restored. This however, was more of a temporary reprieve, as thigns fell into disarray soon after. Now for the fourth time this day, Electricity has ventured to foray into the area of Wall Street.

At the time of going to press, the situation seems to have returned to, as Z would say, a normal city form.

hey..

electricity is a vital part of our daily existance...what was once a luxury has now become a necessity and thats y i guess even the slightest of discomfort causes soooo much apprehension..
 
u r telling me!
try bangalore for a few weeks, u'l realise that its assumed to be a luxury of sorts.
especially on sundays!
 
I used to like Blore... I still do, but for various reasons! Isnt it still manageable without electricity for a few hours? Is it the absence of TV/CD that bugs you?

Blore has become very very crowded - i agree!!
 
Call me spoiled if u want, but where i come from (bbay, if u missed the earlier post), there is no concept of no electricity! So i guess, I am a little intolerant when it comes to that.
Honestly, the only thing i miss when the electricity goes, is the fan. This city is sweltering these days...

And yes.. Bangalore has become quite crowded now. But thats because of ppl like me, (I know)
 
hey...whn u talk abt this "but where i come from (bbay, if u missed the earlier post), there is no concept of no electricity! "..it shows tht u havnt been to mumbai of late..:D...
