At 12:30 PM, the lights went out in our office and there was a loud banging noise from the food processing plant, connected to the office block. It was learnt later, that a short circuit caused the blackout.
It so happened that the short circuit was at a critical time when the office computer servers were processing data. Our Computer Dept. Head mentioned that there was data corruption and all on-line work would have to be suspended for 2 – 3 hours when the power came back, which happened after an hour.
One machinery at the food processing plant was damaged, due to the abnormal power outage.
The MD called for a meeting of key staff at 3 PM, to discuss the power outage and ways to avoid such situations.
While maintenance work was going on, the other staff left office early at 5 PM.

Dear Diary:
Today, in the evening I saw a ghastly fire accident in neighborhood. There is a garment factory a few blocks away from my home. At around 6 p.m. I heard people crying ‘Fire! Fire!’ As I looked towards the direction people were running, I saw a huge cloud of smoke billowing in the sky. Within a few minutes fire-brigade trucks came hooting their sirens. After two hours’ incessant struggle, the raging flames were doused. On inspection it was found that a short circuit near the store in the factory had caused the fire. Fortunately, all workers were safe. Garments and cloth worth lakhs were turned to ashes. I also saw the fire extinguishing operation. The owner of the factory was looking very sad. I believe people should take extra care of fire safety at homes and factories. Smart fire safety equipment must be installed to avoid bigger tragedies.
