NO ELECTRICITY !!!

With this statement the first reaction of the family was this is tough Veer. At first a bit hesitant but he summoned all his courage and said - I can do it!

The first few hours went on with full energy and excitement to do the challenge, from breakfast to sitting down for his self rigour. 😎

But when the clock struck 12’ energy level stared to fizzle down and the mood became cranky. 😖

The lunch was uncomfortable and afternoon became unbearable. 😢He started making rounds to all the rooms to take a feel of cold AC breeze.🥶

We had to encourage him and he was charged again, played Lego and read books, studied again but it was definitely a challenging day!!

My Take:-  It’s was a great learning experience for Veer, simple daily things became a challenge, he actually realised he cannot use hot water for bathing as it requires electricity and can’t have toast for snack. So this hands on experience is a great way for Veer to understand and realise how blessed and lucky he is with all the Morden amenities around him.

Today I did not electricity day. I wanted to keep the fan on but I could not. I wanted to use my I pad for things. I learnt that living without electricity is very very hard

# data[].attributes.body
I did all the rigour through the day. It was hard without light and fan and AC and I could not think well. Yet, I completed all of it!

Three things that I learnt-
1.Nothing is impossible
2.Motivating our self is more important than motivating others
3.Everything is not as easy as it looks

Two things that I learnt about myself-
1. I should increase my attention span
2.I am a strong boy

1 thing I would like to change the next time I do a similar experience is that I will try to complete my rigour or self directed work

# data[].attributes.body
Veer’s feed back:- Time has suddenly slowed down for me. I was excited in the morning but as the afternoon came I was very tired and was feeling hot 🥵 . I use to sneak to my mom’s and brothers room to get some AC air 🥶 . I tired to focus on my rigour but it was difficult as it was very hot. Playing Lego and drawing is my favourite thing but that also I couldn’t do more then few minutes.

So, now I realise how important is having electricity ⚡️ and we are very lucky to have it. I discussed with my mom about it and made a promise not to waste it as not everyone in our country still has electricity ⚡️. We should be thankful and conserve it.

In the first few hours, I was not really finding any problem without any electricity. As time went by, things got a lot harder .Until 12 noon I had no problems without electricity but after that my efficiency got less due to heat. My head started paining a lot at one point. It was almost uncontrollable .I asked my mom the time and I realized it was 4:45.The next 15 minutes were one of the hardest moments in my life. My head had never pained as much as it was. .The first thing I did after it was 5 was on the AC on 18 and grabbed my Ipad . Also I put the fan on 3.

Aleya was very good with this experience. She was at my mom's home without me being present and still followed it. She completely experienced the spirit of no electricity.

Devansh’s first reaction was very angry and upset as he had decided to do coding and video games on Wednesday. But he took the challenge sportingly and started it from 8:30 !!!
He was very particular about no fan and ate his breakfast in balcony and at lunch time the whole family accompanied him  in the challenge and took lunch without fan.
He did his self rigour with enthusiasm and played carrom  with grandparents without fan. He also played with Lego and magnets and sat on the floor as that was cooler.
For home chore he winded up his toys and cleaned his table.

# data[].attributes.body
First he was wery excited to do this expedience in the morning but as time pass Sheffield very hot and suffocated but then also he finishes his task honestly that is very challenging for him and the funny part is this all the family members experience to electricity for 8 challenge because of socket drip

Things I learned, Discovered and Realised. 

# data[].attributes.body
Three things I learned that I am grateful to have electricity, you have to sacrifice certain things because it works on electricity like eating toast, hot water to bath, AC, light and Fan. I also learned to sit in natural environment and find cool

Places to relax.

I discovered that I can survive without screen time and internet.

I can also find alternative things to use like sit where there is natural

Light and open windows when you feel hot.

I got to know that many people live without electricity and we should not waste and I will be mindful about it.

# data[].attributes.body
The experience was bit difficult.
But I enjoyed it and I also had fun by playing with Lego and carrom.
I learnt that if I decide to do something I can do  it.

It is nice to see Dhruvika actually experience what the rural parts of the world go through everyday. This also makes you aware of how important electricity is. It effects not only our mood but even our ability to do work. I was really proud of Dhruvika as she really, really tried her best. She even went for a to bathe in the morning twice as it was so hot.

Tanuj was excited to start with the No Electricity challenge. He was determined to give it his best shot. He started sharp at 9 and spent the day in the balconies without the fan. Thankfully it was a cloudy day, so humid but not very hot. He also had a little shower in the rain. Around noon, he started to get a little restless and tired but kept going. He fell asleep while doing his BA at around 4 pm. That's when we realised how tired he had become! He also got occasionally tempted to sit under a fan but controlled himself!

# data[].attributes.body
1- a. I learnt how important electricity is because I felt like I just wanted to laze around and what some television but I couldn’t. Also I felt like I just wanted to switch on the air conditioner but I couldn’t.
b. I leant that a lot of things depend on electricity, for example hot water to shower, fans, light, etc.
c. I learnt that without just looking at the screen the whole day there is so much more to do like skipping, exercising, etc.

2- a. I discovered that electricity does affect my mood. I felt very bored and I felt like time just so slow.
b. I also discovered that I am depend on electricity more than I thought.

3- a. I think from now on I should not waste electricity. I should be mindful and switch of the air conditioner, fan, light, etc because now I know the importance of electricity.

No electricity day was interesting for Rivaan. He did not use any gadget for the whole time. However, it was difficult for him to stay in a separate non ac room without any company. Not sure what was more tough to let go, air conditioning or human company. He spend quality time with his brother and cousin and they played a lot of games together.

Ammarah was very excited and was looking forward for the challenge. She felt that afternoon was tougher compared to morning. Her BA kept her occupied. Overall she tried to remain positive. I would like to thank the teacher team for providing the children with this initiative.

It was a nice experience for the kids to stay without electricity for a day. It helps them to understand the importance of things that are generally taken for granted in our routine life. Tanishkaa was really excited and sincere about the whole experience. She extended the non use of electricity for one hour because she had to attend an online class we had prior registered for. There were times she was sweating and the weather and humidity were taking toll on her. But she still did it without complain in the most part of the day. Well done Tanishkaa, it was a great effort. I hope it gives you more respect, empathy and gratitude for the blessed life we live!

Regards,
Bhakti

It was 4:30 around I had to sit with a paper fan blowing cool 😎 air. Because of that my mom needed to suffer because of me. But I also gave her my paper fan. Time past away it was enough I had to on the fan and Ac. Then I said no and stopped. It was an amazing day 🥳.

The experience was difficult but I tried my best to keep giving myself air with my Hand fan. I could not do a lot of rigor in the amount of heat in the room. It was quite difficult to study in so much heat.

# data[].attributes.body
Dev followed the no electricity day with full sincerity. The minute he woke up, he switched off the fan. He did not allow us to switch on the fan when he was in the room.  It was indeed a challenge for Dev to be away from the Laptop and not to watch TV throughout the day.

Parents feedback

Anay was quite confident, and had planned his day ,
He had already had this experience before, so was quite comfortable, I m sure now all our Bacchas are going to be calm and stable when there is a cut in electricity 👍

A big applaud to all little champions 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

# data[].attributes.body
The overall experience of no electricity day for Anaya was an eye opener.

This experience made them realise that around us most of the life stops if we don't have electricity.

Anaya took the challenge very sportingly. She kept her self busy the entire day with lots of offline work, cooking, helping in house hold work, art and spending time with her sister.

Regards,
Ritu

The announcement itself was a shocker for Riva! But she was prepared for it. She has already spent a very uncomfortable night without electricity when the storm hit us a couple of weeks back.
This time she was able to manage better for the part of the day where she had no electricity. She read a lot, she had conversations with her Nani and Dada and spent her time playing with lego.

She did find it difficult to manage though.

dWhen I started doing my ba at that time I felt that it was ok-ok but then the heat came in the room.
The three things I learnt from the experience was that you should not miss-use your electricity, be grateful for electricity and do not leave electricity like A/C and Fan on. The 2 things I discovered about myself were that I needed fan and A/C and I couldn't stay out of A/C when the experience was over.
1 thing I will be mindful about is not leaving electricity on when I leave the room.

A DAY WITHOUT ELECTRICITY !!
The very first thoughts that came to my mind were that Oh thank God its not summer ! I thought it would not be so difficult considering the rainy weather. But as the day progressed,  I could feel the heat even with the fan on. And soon enough, Zahaan too came to me saying Mumma its too hot for me to study in that room. So we shifted him closer to the garden with all doors open so at least there was some breeze coming in from outside.
It was not easy to pass the whole day like that. But i am glad, he could finish all his BA and sit through the heat.
I think it was a good experience for him to understand that he has a lot of privileges that he should not take for granted. He learnt to be grateful for the facilities he has. Simple things like looking into the phone for time had to be done by getting up and going to the other room to look at the clock. Things that could be done by just a touch of a button, took longer. He could not have toast and instead had to settle for poha as we could not use the toaster. He could not call his friends or his dad as he was not allowed to use the mobile. So all in all, he learnt the importance of both, electricity and all the modern day gadgets that he has access to.
