A Bad Day of my Life

Life is a mixture of bad days and good days. Each one of us experiences the joys of
good days and anguish of bad days. I also went through the ordeals of a bad day.

It was one of those bad days today when many bad things happen together. As I got
up my mother told me there had been no power supply since early morning. She also
told me that there was no water in the water tank. So I had to pump water and bring
it in buckets to the washrooms for ablutions and washing up.

Then as the mother was cooking dinner the cylinder ran out. Thank God there was a
filled cylinder available with the grandmother. It was just 10:00 a.m. when the
inverter battery also ran out. It happened to be one of the hottest days with
summer solstice just a week away. All of us had no option but for the resuming of
power supply. Then one of the neighbours told us the power supply would resume in
the evening as the Electricity Department was repairing the wires. At 3 p.m. all of
us missed the power supply the most because that day Champions Trophy semi-final
cricket match between India and Bangla Desh was to be played.

We forgot all our pain we had faced that day when the power supply resumed.
However, that joy was short lived. We had hardly finished our dinner when the power
supply was disrupted again. The inverter did not work. We again had no option but
to wait for the resumption of the power.

I really had an extremely bad day during my summer vacation.
