Economising on Electricity

The Minister of Power & Energy is apealing to us to econmise on electicity.It was just six weeks back we were putting up elaborate decorations which heavily consumed electricity.What were we doing ? Celebrating Sambuddhathwa Jayanthi , of course !And the theme of the celebrations? Sambuddhathwa Jaynthiyata pilwethin pela gasemu which means"Let us celebrate the event based on Buddhist priciples !"Are lack of foresight and blatant wasting Buddhist principles? What hypocrisy!
