While the power failure drove the whole country mad on Tuesday, Delhiites decided to make light of the darkness to make it easier to bear. Social networking sites Twitter and Facebook were flooded with jokes and one-liners such as, ‘Dear Rajinikanth, if you’re done charging your laptop, can we have our electricity back? Sincerely, north Indians!’ and ‘Spiderman found drunk and unconscious on Delhi pavement. Why? Because with no power, comes no responsibility!’

Many love birds were also overheard giving the ‘stuck in Metro’ excuse to their parents to spend more time with each other.

The most popular jokes
An Angrez comes to Punjab to learn Punjabi. In 15 days, he learns only two lines: 1. Shukr hai light aa gayi. 2. Oh twaddi be*** di, fir gayi!

A lady to doctor: Doctor sahab, mere husband ko current lag gaya hai, main kya karun? Doctor: Pehle to bhagwaan ka shukr manaao ki aapke ghar pe light aa rahi hai!

India is the first country to invent a time-machine. It was tested successfully for two days. The North Indians were the privileged ones to travel twice to “Dark Ages” and back.

Pankaj Udhas is coming back with ‘Chithhi aayi hai’ part-2. He’s calling it ‘Bijli aayi hai, aayi hai, bijli aayi hai; bade dino ke baad.’ @Faking News

Powercut is the best time to convince your hot girlfriend to cool off by taking the clothes off.

Long power cut made life miserable. Worst affected was the Delhi Metro station where Santa-Banta got stuck for eight hours...on escalators!

Meanwhile in Delhi, DilliBoyz are shouting at power lines: “Jaante ho main kaun hoon!?” and wondering why it isn’t working!

Apparently, Anil Kapoor was in north India and trimming his chest hair when the massive load led to the #powercut.
