50 THINGS TO DO WHEN THERE IS LOAD SHEDDING!

Writers note:

This is a time constrained document... Only people

that are living in Pakistan in 2011 will be able to

relate best and to some extent by people living in

other developing countries where they have power

crises.

I pray and hope this document becomes complete

crap in the next few years when today's fact sounds

like weird fiction!

It was written between 15:00 - 16:00 on may 23,

2011 while I waited for electricity to return...

Read ebooks like this on your smart phone...

and if you do not have a smart phone or ebooks

saved on it, then save it! There is no issue in being

perceived as literate!

Play ludo / ono with family or friends

Relive your childhood

Go take a long shower... Yes this is unnecessary use

of water but at least you are saving on energy

right?!!!

Have a playlist saved on your cell phone to play.

Make sure music is soothing and not something that

gets you moving and exercising.

Do aerobics and burn some fat!

Spend time speaking about future with your family

and if you are alone... Speak to God!

Go stand in your lawn or the balcony and enjoy

nature wrapped in pollution and the chaos around

Read a book... All great leaders somehow studied

under lamp posts and candles

Not advisable but spend entire time cursing the

government and their family members... This of

course is nothing more than release of frustration

Respond to SMS that you had received earlier and

need to revert

Forward jokes to people on SMS

Read books and make notes by highlighting

important points

Go to your neighbors and have coffee

Call up friends you owe a call to

Review on how the day went today and what would

you have done differently...

Plan for the next day

Plan for future... Long term thinking

Practice photography. Take pictures with varying

composition, background, etc... In short experiment

with photography

Download new apps for your mobile

Do Facebooking from your mobile

Go light scented candles all over

Be psychic and use power of the mind to get the

fan to move through focus... Some 'secrets' are

weird!!!

Follow up with people on things they were supposed

to do... First think who these people are, what

should have they done and start calling them

Think, if you were to write a book, why would you

write it and what would the subject be? Don't

worry! When the lights are back on you can forget

the entire ‘episode’ and move on with life.

Go out for a walk... But do take some cash and

inexpensive mobile with you... What if you get

mugged?!!

Start cleaning up you wallet and throw those ATM

and Credit Card slips please!!!

Think of places you must apply for a job to improve

your standard of living

Think what time will lights be back on and speculate

next load shedding time

Go buy a generator ... Or plan when will you buy a

generator

File your paperwork in an orderly and disciplined

Meditate

Thinking of God and praying is not a bad idea!

Learn yoga and practice

Reflect on yourself and think how you can improve

yourself

Go to office and chill!

Go rearrange your wardrobe... Shirts, formal shirts,

shalwar suits,trousers, socks, etc!

Curse yourself! Why don't you have a UPS and

generator? Idiot!

Think if you were to protest what would you enjoy

doing? Burning tyres or throwing stone!

Respond to mails from your smart phones

Update your contacts in the mobile! Please don't

have things like 'Farhad mob', then 'Farhad home',

'Farhad office'. Duh!!! One name can have more

details

Update your calendar appointments on mobile

Play Jenga... It controls anxiety by building it!

Read newspaper! What you only read electronic

news? Dude lifestyle must match society also...

Electronic newspaper where there is excessive load

shedding!!!

Take power nap... If it is too warm and you are

sweating, pay yourself Rs.500/- and enjoy the

sauna!

Call those people again with whom you followed up

earlier to reconfirm they understood

Does this document actually have 50 things?

Remember the age old advice... When you assume,

you make an ass out of you and me...

Look at your self in the mirror and say “Good

Morning” in various accents and count how many

are you brilliant at!

If you think this is stupid go read a dictionary!

Throw 20 marbles or similar things on the floor

and then start looking for it... Don't give up! This is

persistence training!

Now think of the next 50 tips on what to do when

there is load shedding

If you think all these ideas are crazy, non productive

and you are over and above these... Get A Life! Try

writing your own book on this subject
