such tales played ad nauseum

Bored of reading abt hindu-muslim saga?...i wont blame u...but may be for the first time it crossed my mind in such a way. It's mahashivratri....and there was no power since morning and i just let it be, thinking it must be for the whole locality but no, i was the god's chosen one for this experience. In late evening i discovered...that nothing at all was wrong with anyone else's house, there was no power only at our place...electrician was called ...he gave-up, electricity board was called...and each time they gave me a new number to dial...at around 7:30, i broke down...then called on yet another number... some mr. khan picked up the phone. He gave no assurance unlike previous calls but turned up in just10 minutes at our place..and yuhu! with his magical touch to the electric board, he made our house well-lit again. I forced him to have some money...which he initially refused but at that time my heart was full, i just cant explain, any number of 'thank-u-s'would have fallen short of expressing my gratitude . such a nice, nice man, god promise me...u'll help him big time, give him a great life ahead. He belonged to a rare species of helpful people.
