Wed: Few sparks flew around at early morning in electric meter chamber. One health fanatic lady in our building (flat 110) uses five storey starcase for exercise. She climbs at least 25 times. As her routine at 6.30 in morning she was starting her exercise, she noticed those sparks. She paniced. Ran to main gate to get help of security. By the time they raced back, small fire has started. Lucky for building residents, an antique fire extinguisher just lying on floor near lift was in working condition and the security person was able to operate it. Fire was brought under control. But meter board was totally destroyed. In this short span of time one other resident noticed and called fire brigade. And to credit of Fire brigade it reached within 7 minutes. This had full potential of big tragedy, but was averted by grace of God.
People carry their grudges for long period. How? Parmar park is build like long 6 story wall for Vikas Nagar residents, blocking their fresh air on West side. This was done twenty years back. One of the residents of Vikas Nagar who visited us as concerned neighbour said, "I had cursed Juggilal (builder) for blocking our sun light and air. He made good profit and left you with this cursed society. This 🔥 fire is result of that curse🤔." Something worth noting.
We stayed without power for four days. Wednesday was the day when Parmar park management just discussed the issue. Day one was spent on debate. Electrician was fixed and budget fixed. They planned to issued a circular, give some time to members for payment and than start the job. One IBM software engineer and I told manager, nothing doing you start work now, collection is our responsibility. You will get funds before job is over. All you have to do is announce. 'No connection without payment.' Every came and paid 8k in cash. Except for Kachare, original landlord of Parmar park.
On management side no one came forward to handle the issue. They only instructed the manager Om Dubey, buy material from "my recommendation." Obviously, reason was to make some money. During this 100 hour ordeal, secretary of society did not turn up once nor any other member. Chairman had no choice as he lives in next building and has to pass by it.
Manager Dubey made a very revealing comment on how he selected electrician. Deepak the electrician was selected because, 'he was first Maharashtrian,' according to manager who said, 'we will work round the clock.' And they really worked. Main work started on Friday afternoon and finished on Saturday night. Work Continued for 35 hours. Two members will always be on job, while one of them would take hour nap in some corner.
During these totally black out days, Bindiya got bored without TV. Hot star or live TV on mobile or on Laptop was not accepted by her, though she tried. Muskan was finding it had become extremely, unbearably hot. Dhwani was able to sleep and finding it good experience without AC. Akshay would drag Muskan and Kabir to Parmar Garden for sweet and peaceful sleep. And Kabir had two days holiday from school. He will not budge from Parmar Garden and cry for 'bou'. Muskan had to drag him in morning this process making them very for school. Kashyap spent most of his time in office.
During evening Kabir even hesitate to go in my room alone. During this black out period he enjoyed, playing with friend Anirudh. For us during these dark nights he was our live TV channel.
Speaking of him, also this is his cute slide show. Enjoy.
