The next day, Mrs. Sharma receives a telephone call from Reliance Energy because the electricity bill has not been paid.
' Am I speaking to Mrs. Sharma? '
'Yes... speaking'
Reliance guy, 'You're a month overdue, you know!'

That night, she tells her husband about the incident, and he, mad as a bull, rushes to Reliance office the next day morning.
'What's going on? You have it on file that my wife is a month overdue?
What business is that of yours?' the husband shouts.

'PAY you? And if I refuse?'
'Well, in that case, sir, we'd have no option but to cut yours off.'
'And what would my wife do then?' the husband asks.
'I don't know. I guess she'd have to use a candle.'
