The dreaded season of blasted heat is right upon us. Along with the unbearable heat, comes the ever challenging load shedding. It is a fact of life that we have to deal with if we want to live in Pakistan. As with any difficult situation, one finds a way around it, people have found ways to make electricity load shedding bearable. 

 

We have compiled a list of ways in which you can cope with this annoying fact of life while living in Pakistan:

 

1.    Remember the timing for load shedding. In some areas the load shedding time is still not fixed, that can be a bit more of a problem, but most follow a fixed schedule. So, grab a pen and note down the timings. This will help you out in planning your activities around these schedules. 

 

2.    Make arrangements. Once you have that schedule for load shedding in front of you, it will be easy for you to remember to do all those activities that require electricity, before power outage. Things like ironing your clothes, filling up your water reservoirs and blending those tomatoes for dinner, need to be done before the load shedding time. 

 

3.    Remember to switch off devices before you go out. If you are going out and you know that there might be a power outage after you leave, then it is a safe practice to switch off all electrical appliances. The reason being that when load shedding occurs, there are chances that there can be power fluctuation too. In that case your appliances will get damaged. 

 

4.    Keep torch lights and rechargeable fans and lights at home. This helps in case if you don't have backup generator or a UPS. People are into simple living and they don't have these machines so for them these torch lights are very handy. These are not very expensive either. You need to spend a very small amount of money for these items.

5.    Do not worry about the frozen items in your freezer, they will not go bad. They will be safe for at least a few hours. And it is a great thing that load shedding does not last that long. Rely mostly on gas ovens instead of electrical appliances for cooking. That way your cooking time will not be hampered due to power outages.
