Bulgaria: Romantic Candles

By Zlatka Velichkova

I've been thinking lately that instead of mounting my trust in foreign giant companies is beginning to slump faster than ever despite my inborn optimism. Last night I went home earlier than usual, switched on my PC hoping to listen to some lovely music and do something else that's fun and... Surprise, surprise! The electricity went off. I lighted several red candles I kept for romantic occasions and started worrying whether everything will be OK with my computer when the electricity supply was restored.
After all, you can't sit calm when you know companies like E.On can bombard the network with excessively high voltage leaving you with a bunch of electric appliances you'll have to buy anew.
My thoughts gradually threw me into deep rage as the hours went by and my romantic candles burned down... Then I fell asleep only to wake up in the morning and find the lights in my room were on and my PC was perfectly safe. I got lucky. Unlike the families from the Shumen village who probably won't get compensated for their damages and who would probably have to save money for another 10 years to buy washing machines, refrigerators and, if they win the lottery, they would be able to afford the luxury of a microwave.
