Fun in the dark

We went through what the media is touting as the 'world's worst power outage' ever over the last two days (mercifully in the locality where I live, there was one power cut that lasted six hours in the daytime and another hour and a half in the evening; bearable enough by Indian standards, since the taps didn't run dry). The event has already spawned a number of good jokes; the one I liked best being that it happened because Rajnikanth was charging his mobile phone...

Sir,

I heard another one :

Power cuts had made life miserable in New Delhi. The worst scene was in Metro Station where families of Santa and Banta were stuck on the escalators for hours.

Hi,

I saw one such post on Facebook- "What? Sushil Kumar Shinde will become Home Minister? When he was Power Minister, we had no power. Now if he becomes Home Minister, then?"

Thanks,
Joydeep

To which, one of my colleagues replied that she hopes he doesn't decide to charge his laptop next!
