Last Sunday, close to midnight, the entire city of Lahore was plunged into darkness following a major power breakdown. Soon, media reports describing it as a national crisis started doing the rounds. It was revealed that the national power grid had tripped. The power supply took almost 10 hours to resume.

The blackout seemed quite ominous, viewed through the thick veil of fog, but it gave our lens-man some bright ideas. And how.
