The odd part

The new billing software treats every ceiling fan like it's a high-energy particle accelerator.

What happened

Following a 'hurried' transition to new billing software, thousands of electricity consumers in Punjab have received bills worth crores of rupees. Officials have clarified that the software isn't broken, it's just 'optimistic' about the residents' secret lives as industrial tycoons. Discoms have advised consumers not to panic and to treat the trillions in arrears as a 'clerical suggestion.'
