Today was such a weird day! The lights went off at 9 in the morning and didn’t come back for a really long time. I was so sick of it! I wanted to watch TV so badly, but I couldn’t because there was no electricity.

So, I fed my cats, Baruka and Dora, some fish. Then I went outside to play. I started digging in the mud, pretending I was finding gold and diamonds – I even imagined I was a treasure hunter! Dora ran around with me, and we both played like athletes.

When I went upstairs, I saw my brother Pravin sitting quietly, playing with his Rubik’s Cube. He looked super bored. Later, around 1 pm, he went out to play football with his friends, and that’s when I started to feel really lonely.

I ate my lunch while reading a storybook. Just when I finished eating, the lights finally came back! I was so happy! But guess what? After a while, they went off again. Then they came back, and I quickly turned on the TV to watch for some time.

It was already 4 pm, and I thought my brother should be home by now. But nope! Then I found out that my dad’s car tyres got punctured on their way back. All four tyres had to be changed because they were too old! That meant Dad, Mom, and my brother were stuck for a long time.

I was so bored that I decided to do some of my Mom’s chores. I washed the dishes, swept the floor, and even mopped it. By the time they all came home, it was 7 pm.

What a day! I never want such a long power cut again!
