Power grid go bye bye

370 million people without electricity:

Northern India's power grid crashed Monday, halting trains, forcing hospitals and airports onto backup power and providing a dark reminder of the nation's inability to feed a growing hunger for energy as it strives to become an economic power.

Losing power is not out of the ordinary for people in India. The big question: just how long will it take for the power to come back?

By evening, 15 hours after the outage began, officials said full power had been restored.

Not bad. From experience, it becomes stressful when power is lost for over 24 hours (with no backup).
