Electrical Surge and flies... (Journal Entry)

But, guess what happened this afternoon! An electrical surge. The tube light in our room got really bright and then burned out- actually, a little fire came out from behind the tube light- where the electrical wires were. I called for Bicky and the situation was resolved for the most part- he gave us a little light bulb for another light fixture- but we thought it better to wait and let the electrical surge die down a little before trying and lights or plugging the computer back in again.

So, Biky and Joyti just came in our room and Joyti made a comment about the flies and the fly-swatter we had in the room. She picked it up and asked how to use it- I showed her and she killed a fly! She called to Biky who came in and started swinging a duputta (The fabric that is worn like a scarf with a girl’s dress) around trying to get the flies out- instead he just stirred up more than there were ever before!
