One friend of mine sent to me from Europe asking how do I manage to send e-mails in the middle of this situation and continuous fight.
At first I remained for 15 days without electricity and with little drinking water. Mobile phones were broken except and hardly for sending SMS. Telephone lines remained okay for the whole time but there were static lines at times. During those days I used a small generator to operate my laptop. Three days back, the electricity company maintained some transformers and wires so that we had electricity again. We pomped water to a reserviour upstairs! However, it is still that the electric power shuts off between now and then; some other times we receive elecrticity for 2-3 hours, and other times the electric current continues for 10 hours or more. Thus, I send my e-mails. Though its all unusual, my priority is to catch any opportunity to contact the world.
