Load Shedding and Living with It

Power cut, particularly during winter season is a common schedule in Nepal, although the country is rich in its water resources. Power cut known as load shedding has both positive and negative sides. I focus on a better way of utilising load shedding hours. Urban area is most affected during power cut because all the machineries, information and communication technologies depend on power supply. Often people are busy studying, writing, watching television and working on the computer. Family members find little time for each other to reflect on their experiences and plans.

The load-shedding hour provides an opportunity to plan the coming days reviewing the past sitting together in a room. http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=peoplespeak&NewsID=314694
