Those of you familiar with my previous travel blog may remember that on my last trip to India I found myself in Dharamkot and LOVED it - that is why we came here this time around.
You might also remember that last time I was here I gave myself a rather nasty electric shock when testing the waters (literally - we heated our water for bucket showers by sticking an electric bar in the bucket. Water + Electricity = Safety).
Oops, I did it again.
This time it wasn't something so (apparently) dangerous as sticking my fingers in a bucket of electrified water.
This time all I did was turn off the kitchen light.
Somehow i managed to touch the black wire (pictured), which was at the time hanging out of the socket. I felt the shock through my finger, hand, arm, side and to my feet.
I swore, then had to have a little lie down.
But I'm fine. Indian electrics are not.
