Earth Hour … what hour ??? whatever !!!


Hello ...
So everybody was talking about earth hour last week ...
It was like all over the web... even on mvblogs ...
I thought to myself that this is a good initiative ...
I wanted to do my part in the conservation/awarness program ...
So I set my cell phone alarm to remind me the day and the hour ...
I was doing some work in my room when the alarm went off ...
So naturally... I switched off most of my electrical stuff ...
Thinking that many in the city would be doing the same ...
That Male' would be different somehow... may be even dark ...
I headed out to my balcony to have a cigarette ...
Too take in the scene... and see how people were reacting ...
I was amazed that I didn'e see anything different ...
I didn't see any buildings powered down ... not a single one ...
The city didn't seem to given a damn about it ...
I had my cigarette... flicked it off ... came back to the room ...
Turned everything back on ... and started working ...
So much for tokenism... I kinda knew that it wouldn't work ...
It would've worked... if all power stations in the country ...
Shut down at a pre=determined time ... if not ... sorry no way ...
The sun comes up... the sun goes down... the lights remain on ...
Some darkened their blogs... and some darkened their websites ...
I've mine darkened year round... thats my bit... make do ...
Laterx ...
