Relief

Is when I hear the tap running after a long dry day! Music to ears.

For the last two weeks, it's been about waiting for that stroke of 6 pm on the clock and keeping the buckets, vessels, just about everything to store that extra drop of water.

All because someone forgot to plug holes in the pipeline that supplies water to these suburbs. Criminal. Wish such crimes went punished severely.

Thankfully, water supply has resumed, if not completely, at least in phases. Am hoping the pipeline actually got repaired.

``This should happen once in a while. We tend to take water for granted otherwise,'' remarked my husband.

My opinion: why should we wait for a scarcity situation to realise that water is precious? Why can the human brain not work a little and think of ways to store it locally...guess these wishes would just go on.
