Thatched House

‘Don’t watch movies on television’, my sister advises, ‘you will not be able to complete a single movie’. That is the situation of electricity supply in the great Capital city of Kohima. Very few works get done in offices because most of the works are done in the computer. Stomachs grumble because of half cooked rice. This happens because like movie watching experience, halfway through cooking in electric rice cookers, power goes off and not many cooks have mastered the technique of cooking the later half through a different source (firewook or LPG). It has been heard that the Power Minister and a handful of other big shots are on a Generator/Inverter buying spree to power their houses.
