Mr Nawaz Sharif and his minister for electricity after taking oath categorically, and without any ambiguity, promised the nation that in 50 days there would be a visible difference in the period of loadshedding. It is now 70 days and true to their word there is a visible difference; where we had 1 hour on and 1 hour off, now we have 1 hour on and 2 hours off. The most pinching time is when there is no electricity from 8 pm to 10 pm, the prime time, when one wants to relax, all the family gets together to enjoy a meal and have some quality time in front of the television!
Now this time is spent in cursing the rulers and praying that Allah makes them suffer the hardship we all suffer. Unless our rulers get a taste of what the common man is going through every day of his life, they will never learn a lesson nor reform themselves. They live in large mansions and palaces with no electricity outage so how can they know
