Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

24 February 1932

Mother,

I went to Maya’s house at 8.00 p.m. I found only one light burning in the courtyard. I was told that the one light on the ground floor burns only till 9.00 p.m. But I am inclined to believe that there are short circuits here and there and therefore there is much consumption of current.

You mean leakage I suppose. The best is to ask to see the meter and ascertain that it is not moving when all the lights are off.
