As the train was moving, we were having great talks and he said how electricity was not considered a important commodity/service in villages.How people converted it in a positive thing for them. They believe not having electricity in night make us to plan to complete all tasks in day time only, but Raju believe it's not fair as 70 % of your intelligence and human power had facility to see other faces and perform livelihood tasks only for 10 hrs a day which includes food making as well as enjoying it, even though they have limited options always , natural calls which again a time taking task for them as every time they have to walk to a distance to ensure that person is out of others view. It is a easy task as per as man are concerned but a tough call for ladies and girls. Hence they converted it again into positive as they always do. As per Raju to avoid all such problems ladies used to wake up very early in morning before sun light turns darkness into reality which might have lead to better fitness for them compared to man which also reflects in life expectancy in India which is 65 for woman compared to 62 for man although it might have several reasons but it's sure above factor also adds to it.
Woman used to be in dilemma whether power should be there or not, Raju said.
I asked, " Why?"
He said " Its a great controversy to say but if power is not there they will not have good irrigation and if it's there, man used to go on field and they have to stay alone during night ....whether they are afraid of it or anything personal I don't know, but I heard saying them ye bijli ko bhi ab hi aana tha...(power came on wrong time)"
I said, " Things were really amazing those days."
He laughed.
I asked, "why are you laughing?"
He replied with a slow move of his eyes out side train's window, though the train was fast enough to ensure that he can not focus on things outside but was still trying.
Then he started slowly "Now also situations are not different, old people still have same feeling as power is granted to them, women still have same dilemma and young are still enthusiastic in such shows...only thing changed is for small children as they don't face dilemma now as they don't have to book space for their parents.They have most probably same learning inside and outside the screen.Now their father don't have too much options to suggest to see on Sunday as their is nothing like Ramayan broadcast now, any way power breakdown still happens.
Not in in village of mine but its across the nation we had only 80 % of villages electrified till date. Electrified is again a controversial term but before that let me tell you that 20% of villages (which are about 127600 villages) have not seen electricity in their houses, till now"
I said " How it's possible to live without power.Government is doing a lot on that."
He said, " Friend these are facts and you will be surprised to know the definition of electrified"
I said, " I know that."
He asked eagerly," Ok tell me what it means?"
I said, " It's simple, all houses of any electrified village have a power connection."
He laughed again and said ," God have not blessed our country's people with so much love."
I asked a bit angrily , "what do mean?"
He said just wait for few minute I am coming from...shown me little figure, before I understand the sign language, he had rushed from the sit.
I have no any options but to wait for him but I was not silent inside....
