Waiting Out the Power Cut and Blaming Shanika

6:15 p.m.

It's hot and humid with no electricity. My phone battery's going to die. I will switch it off. I am going to rest till power is restored. I am blaming any failure on Shanika, who is in the expedited process of being replaced as the head of our family by myself.
