KESC Complaint Center

Well... I guess it was not enough just to show the effect of KESC in Karachi in my earlier post and being a victim, I'm compelled to add one more sleepless night's agony in here... Hurray to KESC!!!

From 2:30 am to 5:50 am:

1. If you have a generator, turn it on. Your neighbours will hate you because of the noise it creates. It actually is a head-ache!

2. Even when the generator's working, drinking up petrol, you cannot sleep because you know that you have to turn it off if the KESC people turn soft on you. So, you can read, surf the net, watch some DVD and stay awake all night. So, you can catch up with all your friends who have seen more movies than you, or have read more books than you have.

3. If your mother, father, grandfather, child, brother, sister, or anyone else in the family is sick, I can imagine the pain they go through and you go through seeing them in endless pain.

4. Best part is that the KESC complaint centres are not working anymore, so even if you dial 118 and really want to get your frustration out, no one will pick up the phone. No one can tell you how long is it going to be. So, relax and chill.

5. You and your work... hmm.. since you've been awake all night, and haven't slept the night before that, you'll curse and be mad at everyone around you. Since you're working 9 to 5 and sometimes more than the usual hours and whatever salary you get, you end up paying the KESC bills with additional surcharges and still you cannot sleep because there's no electricity. But hey, why pay the double tripple bills?! My mother thinks that everyone should boycott KESC! We're living in hell waise bhi, why pay for it?!

6. The other best thing is when you see the civillians of Karachi protesting against KESC, join them!

Apart from all these things, people who live in apartments and flats around the city are not as lucky as those who live in homes. They suffocate in their small apartments. The food turns stale. The sick gets sicker. And yet we get these long bills of KESC with additional surcharges.

There were pictures of people sleeping on the roads and service lanes in DAWN. And people who live in KArachi, knows how stray dogs roam around in the city unattended. You can make the connections, right?

The President of Pakistan, General Parvez Musharraf, in his interview with Talat Hussain said that the country's getting more advanced.It's progressing by the seconds. There will be electricity everywhere even in small towns. Lifestyle is getting better. "mulk mein taraqqi ho rahi hai"

I wonder if it's progression? or is it digression?
IT all turns around to this : " The President and the PRime Minister and the famous multi-national firm that bought KESC are BIG FAT LIARS."

The funny thing is : I'm still frustrated!
