First let me give you the overview as to why a call was made to the CSEB [Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board] call centre.
My elder sister was in the mood of baking cakes today, and because most of the people slept in the afternoons, she prepared the famous Banana Bread before lunch. We had planned on going out to shop at Coupon Mall after lunch. But our Church Pastor turned up and was in deep talks with mom and brother. After that the rains started pelting heavily, and as a precautionary procedure, the CSEB people turned off the power. Now, I had asked her to make my favourite Chocolate Sponge cake and we were scheduled to make it in the evening. But because of the frequent power cuts, we were unable to do so.
So sis thought of calling the call centre and asking if they were thinking of turning off the power again as the rains were still pretty heavy. Here is what the talk was like..
Sis: Hello, is this the CSEB call centre?
CC: Yes madam.
Sis: Is the CSEB thinking of turning off the lights again?
CC: Mam, where is your house located?? Hasn’t the power resumed yet??
Sis: This and this area. The power is back. But we’ve got some urgent work to do.. like bake cakes and all.. so I just wanted to know if the power will go out again…
CC: hehe mam.. How can we tell this..
The call ended there.. and we peeps had a very good laugh. The thing that is bugging us is that if this incident gets published in some newspaper
or the guys turn up in the house tomorrow to eat the cake ‘lol’
As for the cake, we haven’t made it yet. Will prepare it tomorrow..
