The continuous rain for the past few days has been a relief from the cruel load shedding. Whenever rain falls, we wish it rained more where our world of electricity remains in Kulekhani. It feels like when there is light, there is life; you can chat online with your relatives living abroad, read, watch TV, practice the keyboard, charge batteries, and you don’t have to go to work in crumpled uniform. The list goes on but simply put – you can get back to your normal life.
Nepal has been facing an acute shortage of electricity and this trend is not going to fade for years. Here, the supply of electricity varies by season. Whereas the world is moving forward with cutting-edge technology, Nepal is moving backward to the dark stone age. Instead of singing Bob Marley’s smash hit “No Woman No Cry”, we sing, ‘No Rain, No Light’.
When you sleep, there is no light and when you wake up, there is no light. 18 hours of load shedding is nothing more than a pill of frustration. There is much to regret when you decide not to follow your friends’ footsteps and move abroad, but when you choose to live and serve in this country, there is no supply of electricity at all.
To please Indra, the god of rain, we even got ready to arrange a frog’s wedding because we believe that the croak of a frog is the sign of monsoon.
Besides having light, there are a plethora of other reasons to be grateful for rain. The showers have cooled down the stifling hot summer days. We don’t need to buy water in tankers for a few weeks compared to our high and dry taps in other seasons. But during monsoon, our taps flow, not only water but also sewage. And we boast Nepal is the second richest country in the world in water resources.
Rain has been a boon to some while it turns into a curse for others. The torrential down-pouring rain has swept away villages, taken dozens of lives, left thousands of people homeless and obstructed vehicular movements. Natural calamities like flood and landslides triggered by incessant rain have crippled life in various parts of the country. We cannot deny this harsh face of rain. Nevertheless, we are in need of it.
Mighty rain, keep raining to protect us from the dark world of load shedding but don’t sweep away our people and villages.
