An OBITUARY to a CAT

R.I.P.
YOu may wonder what an Obituary to a CAT is doing on a Cashew Conference Blog site!!

From the Family...Not THE CAT .. but 

We all know that CATs have 9 Lives.
Thus guess this Cat from Kairaba was on his(her) last one.

We offer our condolences to the bereaved family and .. honestly mourn the loss of a Cat.

Well this Story has pertinence as While it involves the Loss of a life ,loss of luck for the Cat and LIGHT going out of its LIFE.... It also caused the LIGHT going out of the Conference site. .... Well Almost!!!

This Cat almost caused a CAT-astrophe!!!

It walked into the highly sophisticated power distribution switchboard and short circuited the board!!  Took the lights out - both from its superstitious 9th life and from the HOTEL too. The switchboard was left short circuited... along with our plans too.

No NAWEC, the Kairaba resorted to its 750KVA Genset .. but alas, all machines need maintenance ... and within two days, right when the ACi was in the midst of its Steering Committee Meeting, the radiator ( a little grilled water gizmo that cools hot machines) sprung a leak... that grilled our reliable genset. Net result - the Cats curiosity killed all hopes of an event free event!!

Thanks to the round the clock effort of the Kairaba management, alls OK now and the Powers back, all cats have been informed to keep away from any thing electrical.

As guests arrive, its getting very exciting.

Ram, Kairaba Hotel, in a de-stressed mood :-)
