It is 7:30 PM and there is complete blackout since last 2 hours. The storm has completely devastaed the system. Sitting in a power plant control room when there is complete blackout is a strange experience. When the machines are idle and it is drizzling outside...It is not a scene that you will ever get a chance to witness. Some random thoughts are coming in my mind. I am thinking about the fukushima disaster, when the man made megastructures are made to feel fragile by the forces of nature.
I have always liked this kind of blackout. I remember my Infosys training days (where you are compelled by the trainers to feel like a dude and considering my case, a complete desi inside,It was very difficult to survive)... When the instructor asked me in one of the HR classes about what I like to do most in my free time and I replied with a complete genuine feeling that "Madam, I love to do nothing". May be she never expected this kind of reply or she didn't understand what I wanted to tell her...but it was a sheer pleasure watching her confused expressions...
I like to be in a stage of complete blackout. When there is nothing to do and you are aware of nothing.You are just witnessing the pleasure of nothingness. Ahhh!!! What an experience... !!!
I remember that during my college days when the electricity used to went off suddenly how much I enjoyed realising that I have nothing to do. It was not about enjoying that there is no work that you have to do. It was about getting some unexpected moments accidentally to live in void. May be this is called Dhyaan or meditation. When you are aware of nothing and you discover the bliss of everything...

ना कुछ था तो खुदा था, ना कुछ होता तो खुदा होता ,
डूबोया मुझको मेरे होने ने, ना होता मैं तो क्या होता...
P.S. Sorry, If you have wasted your time reading this rubbish post...As this is about nothing and written at the time when you have nothing to do :-)
