When people make silly mistakes and take bad decisions, the results are sure to haunt them, but when these things happen to magazines like Time or news channels like CNN, they can have an impact and it can change the media history.

I have been reading articles over the past week following India’s biggest power failure on July 30 and 31. Some 600 million people were left without power after parts of the country’s massive electricity grid collapsed. Most analyses have attributed this large-scale grid failure to mismatch in power need and availability. Some hinted that the situation had been made worse this year by a drier monsoon season, which prompted northern states’ farmers to run pumps and draw more power than usual. Some analysts say India has poor energy infrastructure etc. Maybe it’ll take months to find out the root cause of failure.
Thanks for stopping by.
