I would like to start this post with a very beautiful and thoughtful quote

Power outages are a reminder that nature is still the ultimate force, and we must adapt to its rhythm.

Power Outage is one of the most common problems we face in Pakistan. It's not a new thing. we have been facing it for decades and Yet the government is not able to cope with the power outage challenge.

As I have said, it is a common problem and we are facing it on a daily basis, there are many stories attached to it. but here I will share the most recent one that happened around 2 months ago.

though we have entered into winter, two months ago we were in summer and it was a very tough summer. The thing that made this experience worse was the defect in our UPS.

We weren't aware of the UPS fault, and we just came from some function in the family, we were very tired and wanted to sleep. Just after going to bed. electricity breakage happens and it turns out every light in our home.

first, we got worried, because it never happened before Whenever an electricity breakage happens, UPS works as the backup and provides us with needed electricity for about 4 hours.

There was nothing we could do, we tried our level best to fix the UPS, but all in vain. As it was nighttime, we couldn't even call the electrician to come and fix it.

the news came from one of our relatives that, this power outage is the country and complete country is blacked out. I called the Electrical company to find out more about it.

After calling 5,6 times, they finally answered my call and answered me with a very serious behaviour that they don't know about the cause of this electric outage, they are still trying to know the reason and it is expected to last for 24 hours and more.

I started to feel pain in my head after hearing those words. It was one of the worst nights we had spent with no electricity, no power back and the weather was also very hot.

we tried to sleep, but couldn't due to the hot weather. It was a sleepless and restless night for our whole family. In fact, may be a restless night for millions living in Pakistan.

the electricity came back, in the middle of the next day and then we all went to sleep and kept sleeping the other night as well and woke up the other morning.

Hopefully, you guys will never have an experience like this in your life.
