Electrical cables maze in India

Electricity Maze

India amazes me every single day. In the good, the bad, the funny, the colorful, the smelly, the ugly, the humbling, the tasty, the smiley, the spicy, the bitter… and even when it comes to something as mundane as electricity!

This electricity post spotted in Old Delhi is not one of a kind. There are many others like it around the city, making electricity cables look like part of a ball of wool.

My question is: when the electrician needs to fix something, how does he even know where to start? Whoever works in electricity in India probably doesn’t play video games… real life already fullfils that need for challenges and excitement.

  • Ha! This is not that complicated actually. The think ones are the electricity wires. The medium ones are of the TV cable operators and then other ones are telephone wires. All piggybacking on the electricity poles. I’ve seen worse.

      Anita, if even some electrical wires feed that post-India blues, then the case is way more serious than what I thought! Only cure: gotta come back!! :D
