We used to throw the separate packet of ghee contained in instant noodle packets. Nowadays they are not thrown at all but used to ignite firewood. We used to cook rotis using LPG in the evening.

But now rotis are baked in the firewood. I have not ever tasted such rotis before which are baked in the firewood enveloped with fire smoke. I have never experienced staying in queues waiting for kerosene.

I collected eight liters of kerosene standing queuing twice. In totality, I spent altogether sixteen hours. My patience while standing on queues has enormously been fortified. I paid for eight liters of kerosene and got seven liters instead.

Thus, distributor corruption via measurement entered into our kitchen. The issue of urgency overlaps the issue of corruption hence proved. I was amazed to see a person bearing a don like physique collecting more than fifty liters of kerosene.

He was eligible only for four liter but his dozen vessels were also eligible. The police were there in their uniform. When

he was about to leave after collecting the fuel the police greeted him in a cozy attribute.

More than eighty per cent of the collectors were woman of ages and status. I observed the same scenario in the queue of LPG also. Amazingly, the distributors of both kerosene and LPG were women. However the scene at petrol pumps was reverse. They were completely male dominated.

I never practiced burning firewood before. But now I can burn it efficiently. I use noodle ghee and plastics as catalysts for burning firewood. There was a small log of pine when we purchased firewood from a furniture shop.

It was another catalyst to ignite. I am quite aware that burning plastic is harmful to us.

I am experiencing the bullying of developed nations vicariously through emission of gases. I have a fortnight of experience sleeping at a during the days of aftershocks.

I had seen so many dried branches and twigs in the park. I collected these branches along with bamboo stumps. Nowadays this park has become free of twigs and branches and become neat and clean.

Nowadays I see wood cut into pieces thrown everywhere. Our kitchen is free from the byproducts of cooking as we have used our open veranda as a kitchen. In the meantime I frequently listen to women cursing because of the shortages of the essentials in public transports.
