A deeper look into LPG shortage in India and rewatching old classics…

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

Hey 👋

I hope all of you are doing well…!

A cool breezy morning it is and it’s 7:33 in the morning here;

And I’m back on my routine of morning walk as I’m writing this one…!


Something I’d like to bring to your attention that’s happening here in Delhi…!

We the residents of Delhi are going through an LPG(liquified petroleum gas) shortage;

There are lines near the agencies,

Increased rates of the LPG cylinders,

On top of that the rates have been increased by a factor of 60 rupees in the matter of a month;

And the duration of rebooking period has increased from 21 days to 25 days now…!


I know it might feel like it doesn’t affect you but it does affect people around you and as an informed citizen you should be aware of what is going on around the world,

And what are its consequences that we all are facing…!


We all were already stretching it to 21 days and now the new rule tells us to extend it by 4 more days again…?

A task that seems impossible without having an induction plate or chipping in money to buy one in black…!


You know what,

If we had pipeline gas at our residence I would be unaware of this fact;

But,

I don’t so you have an insight into this…!


The main reason for increasing this time limit and the shortage is to trap the banquets and restaurants owners who illegally buy domestic LPG cylinder cans that are cheaper than the regulated commercial ones by a factor of 1000 rupees…!


This crackdown is on agencies and their illegal tie ups with places of business and the illegal way they were obtaining these cylinders on fake name and address proofs;

Diverting an essential commodity away from its specific use i.e. us common people…!


1700 worded LPG rant later we are here 😅😂



Coming back to the prompt..

Movie or TV series I have watched more than five times…!

It would come to you as a shock but I don’t watch much of TV or movies;

But,

I’m into trying new things—

I do watch videos YouTube a whole lot like an old uncle in your family…!

😂🫩


As I had mentioned in the prompt a few days before,

I am watching The nanny.

A 1993 tv series which is so hilarious as I accidentally came across it while doomscrolling reels…!

But there isn’t anything that I watched five times;

Not even a movie…!

Because I do remember bits and pieces of it enough to remember it from my memory…!

And it just stops being funny or worthy of spending my time on…!


That’s how it is for me,

And it can be very different for you I know…!


There is some anime that I like to watch when I am free and secluded from the world,

And when a new season comes in I do watch the old one to keep the flow going;

Because, a new season can either be months or years apart and if that happens,

Things slip from the cracks;


So I rewatch the season quickly to jog my memory and keep up with the things that spill from the previous season to the next one…!


Well I hope you do find something new each time you watch,

And I hope you watch it from a different perspective each time making it a new experience for you…!


Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
