Maybe you have seen pictures like these in some of the emails that have been circulating.  Even so, you have to agree this is just plain stupid.  I have actually been to India, both New Delhi and Hyderabad, and I have to confess I never saw anything this bad.  I also know that they do have an electric company that you call if you want power to your building.  Maybe they aren’t up to USA standards, but this is nuts. 

We did experience power outages almost every day, you just get used to them.  But I never considered the outages might be a result of two wires touching because somebody tossed something in the air, or decided to hang their laundry on the closest line.   I would love to know where this actually is, and how widespread this situation might be.  Any enlightenment out there?
