MIRACLE in my life!

Yes, u read that correctly!! I and my bro saw a miracle happen to us... The stuff goes like this... Yday evening, i went home early and was thinking of going out for dinner, along with my bro (since my mom and dad are out-of-station). Nearing my house, i saw the new Domino's Pizza outlet open and there i decided that vl go there tonite for having a gr8 pizza!! So, as thought, i went home and pulled my bro 2 come out soon so that v can grab a delicious pizza and fill our stomach! :) When i was driving my 2-wheeler (my bro in the pillion rider seat)..he was keeping the house key in his breast pocket..In the road, therez a small hump that i usually ignore and drive straight without applying brakes..this time also i did that and ...and...the most shocking and tension-giving thing in my life happened!!

The City’s race with time has seen its surging demand for power met with erratic and at times inept supply. With a customer base of around 22,00,000 and monthly revenue of Rs 265 crore, the picture just seems to get bigger for Bescom. Catering to around 16,00,000 households, Bescom supplies 18 million units of power every day with 52 sub-stations. But if the city’s growth rates are any indicators, the numbers are all set to go north. It was on August 5, 1905 that the then member of the Viceroy’s Council John Hewett inaugurated the first lighting scheme for Bangalore by switching on the power sub-s
