Electricity is a vital component of everyday living but unfortunately in certain parts of the world, it's unstable as the weather if not more.
Here, we do get severe electricity cuts always but it's not that of a big deal like over there, for us, it usually lasts for the whole day or night. People have learnt to anticipate the electricity cuts and act accordingly :)
I see. I guess if it's not that much of a big deal over there, then you're just fine. Where are you from?
