Thane cyclone not only caused extensive damages but it made us to travel three decades backwards. The power supply was disturbed in some parts of the city for more than 12 hours. The brunt of the power-cut was not felt in the daytime. However, night time was horrible. Because you ought to live with swarms of mosquitoes. Moreover, no tv, net. Even cellphone battery got completely down as a result, you were simply cut off from the outside world.
Good old trandistor came handy. To my knowledge, I tuned in to all india radio FM frequencies after a gap of (almost )a decade. Watching a news channel is different from listening to radio news is entirely different. Initially, I was restless (because life without gadgets was a deprivation) but I started enjoying life without gadgets.
Henceforth, I've decided to enjoy life without any gadgets once in a week.
