Power grid failure in Northern India worst in a decade

"The grid failure happened after 10 years. It earlier happened in 2002. That time it took about 16 hours to restore the grid." 

 

Northern grid failure brings 500 trains to a halt

The failure of the northern grid brought to a halt more than 500 trains, including 300 passenger trains, on Monday morning.

Grid failure in a power system generally occurs when much or all of the high voltage transmission grid is forced out of service, thereby isolating the load it would normally serve. Total grid failure, is extremely infrequent, could also occur the way it happened this time in the northern grid. Grid failure could also be the result of the almost simultaneous loss of multiple generating units or plants however this is less likely to be the reason for a large grid failure.

Grid systems are designed to, at a minimum, survive the loss of the most important element at all times. Indeed, most grid systems have shown the capability to survive the loss of several independent elements simultaneously. All grid apparatus is protected by various overlapping redundant protection schemes so that the failed element is removed from service as quickly as possible

Power cuts, black outs and load shedding have been experienced periodically and chronically adversely affects the country's economical growth.

छोटी छोटी चीसों पर धयान दे !

 

You start Energy Conservation at home, carry it to your work place, manage at your visiting hubs....

Switch of all the electrical & electronic utilities when not in use.

Please even do not put them in Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep mode!

Make sure that you have put the switches in off mode.

Do not keep the open loop system in any of the electrical unit!

Remove the charging plug-in aids once the charging is done.

Specially switch off the TV sets at the switch boards & not just with the remote!

Practice simple things. Cultivate these as habit. These small steps would definitely make our electric bills lighter. This in turn leads to minimal Power Consumption at home. If each one of us contribute, the whole state would require small power! The grid is not overloaded. No body is going to be indiscipline drawing them. Logic becomes simple.

“Less power greedy we are, less chances of grid collapse”

Will be Back soon!

Its been a long time being on blog wall!
will come back soon with lot of my perceptions about lot many things.

At this point of time I am wondering about Indian Tennis Squad for Olympics. Lee n Hesh both are my favorites. Can't take any one's side.

EWIT Shining in …

“Fate!?”

There are two stories with me today.

1. Sneha Times on the Kurubarahalli main road was one of my hanging out place for purchasing the watches, Wall Clock pieces and few gift items. The shop keeper is Narasimhan of around 42+ years has been quite an interesting person. In the month of October of 2002 I and my cousin Madhumita took a 1HK space for rent in that locality. Since then both of us had been a regular visitors to that shop. The first thing which catches your eyes in his shop is a 1 feet diameter huge clock!

For about 14 months I was not in Bangalore but when ever I was visiting Bangalore and my cousin’s house (now in the same locality) I made a sure visit to the shop. After a couple of week of my Bangalore return during September 2010, I had visited his shop en route to Madhu’s house. He asked me one question as to “What made you to look like a patient? ” I briefly mentioned him about the hardships of Mumbai life for which I could not adjust. He iterated that health should be of prominence. “Keep yourself in good health.”

A fortnight back on a eve Madhu called me up from the same shop bursting in to tears. My mother was attending the call and could not understand any thing and handed over the phone to me. Sri. Narasimahan has been figured out with 6 blocks in his heart and even his elder brother is having 3 blockages! Both of their condition is critical an need to go through Open Heart Surgery with 20-25 days!   

Theirs is an undivided family. If something goes wrong with either of them or both of them the entire family would be stand still.

Need to keep GOOD HEALTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. The story at Kurubarahalli continues. The old house land lady has two daughters Shashikala and Indukala and a sonby name Rajakeerti. When owner uncle was alive, he used to instruct me not to skip breakfast/lunch/ dinner. With hundreds of reasons he used to pull me to their house situated in the first floor during dinner time and made sure that I served my plate and had dinner at their place. On e morning while I was hurrying to college he was seriously ill and I found him dead by the evening. He died of heart attack.

His second son in law’s family’s fate!!!!!???????????

Now all of a sudden I will be taking about this part of their extended family.  The second son in law’s name is Brahma Raju. He had a younger brother by name Raju. This Raju died because of some cancer almost three years back. Now it’s the turn of Brahma Raju! Doctors at Kidwai Hospital have sent him back giving no life expectancy.  

Indu and her daughter Moni’s fate!? Brahma Raju’s mother’s grief!??????? She is alive and in front of her both her sons dying of the ill fate cancer!

In kannada ther is a saying: - “Thanondu bagedare daivavondu bageyitu”

Bandra !

One Sunday in the month of March 2010 along with my friends Sarita and Sridhari went for a long walk through the length of Bandra Band Stand. The Bandra Band Stand near by residents were playing a role of vigilance for quitesome time for a unique reason!

We later went to a tabela (a slum) in the west side. Sarita is associated with an NGO and she suggested me to drop a few of my old clothes at a community hall where she took us. We spent some time with the children and few elders over there up till eve.

My Second Step

Its almost a year of blogging.
I just wanna restart.

Take a Second Step and keep going.
There is a lot to write.

Tuesdays and Trimoortini at my work places

Mint - Mint the Coins!

Yestrday I had been to India Govrnment Mint; a place where coins are minted along with students and few of my collegues as a part of Industrial Visit.
Tons and Tons of blank coins and finished coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Fom childhood I have been very fascinated about the coins. I should be more precise as " Moha " on the coins.

After looking at them at MINT, I have lost the MOHA on the coins!
We were briefed by the staff and officers at every processing stage about the product termed coins at the factory.
For the first time, the Mint allowed students to visit the shop floors!
Students were really excited to look at the coins - blank as well as finished ones!

Mumbai meri jaan!

So many uncommon and common things  are associated with this BrihanMumbai! Its approximately 8 months being here. I have not been able to visit any place of tourists' interests.

but their has been a virtual tour as well as a real tour of mumbai in other words.

June 28th 2009, I finally landed at Mumbai to join my hubby.

June 30th joined TCET.

July 2nd , travelled to Nerul- Navi Mumbai using Western and Harbour line local.

November went to Pune for Infosys Training. Commuting round was throgh the buses. So did see through the window - plenty of places!

January , 1 week long  STTP - Short Term training Programme was held at Vasai and week long Local travelling!As a part of Industrial Visit went to Prabhadevi's Tata Communications(VSNL) - saw Bandra - Worli Sea link from every floor of Tata Communications' building!

From a suburban  Kandivali of BrihanMumbai moved to Virar (Vasai taluk- Thane Dist). Now Mumbai Darshan on local!

Next I shall write about my experiences in locals!

You can hardly categorise the experiences as bad, good, fun, enjoyable, irritating .....

Its a Mixture!

ಅಂತೂ ಇಂತೂ M . Tech ಬಂತು

ಅಂತೂ ಇಂತೂ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಬಂತು ಅನ್ನೋ ಧಾಟಿಲಿ ಈಗ ನಾನು ಅಂತೂ ಇಂತೂ M . Tech ಬಂತು ಅಂತ ಹಾಡೋ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ.
೨೦೦೭ರಲ್ಲಿ ಅದು ಹೇಗೋ ಏನೋ ಕೋರ್ಸ್ಗೆ ಸೇರಿದ್ದಾಯ್ತು.

The day we joined there was a feeling that it has started with a wrong note.

We started attending the classes and were completely busy the whole week.

Allmost all of us were busy from monday to friday with our profession and on saturdays and sundays we dedicated ourselves for the course.

Along with us, all our faculties and non- teaching staff worked day in and out taking more pain than us.

We are all thankful to them.

Looking back, I wonder what a pleasent journey it was!

Oh My God!

We were denied to be recognised as students of the University intially and we went to honourable High Court, applied a Writ Petition. At the 11th hour we took Interim Order and wrote exams. That to till the last 15min of the first paper we did not have the University Seat No.!

We got the numbers but all went wrong once again!

Exams were done but the problem of attaching name to the number and number the name of the student persisted till the Viva -Voce!

1st Semester results were out for all others but not for us.

It seemed to be a never ending problem.

Once again with the help of court intervention we had results.

Saga continued for 2nd and 3rd semesters as well.

The D-day of Project Submission came and most of us were done with the Dissertation.

Problem persisted of being non-recognised students with USN and Names.

For all other submitted candidates at the university, Project Viva - Voce were under progress and for us there was no sign of being called for!

All of us started literally crying and screaming at every other person in the system.

All others were finally done with the Viva and even in our college other branches were done with!

It was a continuing problem only with the Digital Electronics students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What good fate all of us have !

Generally the Viva -Voce is done by the end of nov or maximum 1st week of dec and for our set there was no intimation at all as the problem of University seat no. and recognition of the students' name was not yet cleared.

All of us said Guasshhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Where are we stuck with?

Why are WE stuck with?

Answers were not available.
अरे भाई कहा फ़स गये हम लोग!
क्या किस्मत कनेक्शन हैं हमारा?
कब छूटेगा ये परेशानी?
Finally - Finally the solution was figured out and we were told that this year only for us viva - voce would be conducted!

The day came 1 by 1 for all of us.

It started with Dileep and ended with Gangadaraiah.

Inbetween was mine.

At last everything was done.

Results also turned up.

To our surprise, beleve me all the three ranks in the University for the category of M.Tech in Digital Electronics has been bagged by EWIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The regular SDM Dharwad was left behind with SSIT Tumkur as well!

Hey Come on , We started with a wrong note and ended with a BIG BANG!

Hardly we were expecting to clear M.Tech and get a degree and even our institute was in the same mood of just getting their students as recognised by the university and let the students get their degree. They did strive towards that and now the management and staff is really on an edge!

I do wish all our juniors to keep up their spirits high and continue to bag ranks for the institute.

They do have a good set of people to guide them in all the front.

Masters by itself is an accomplishment and having a rank is a niche!!!!!!!!!!

"Do get a rank for yourself and for the Institute." - thats what I would tell my juniors.

Its by experience!

I am enjoying having recieved Master's Certificate along with a Rank Certificate.

Please do enjoy the same.

Knoweldge is Money Power

I am back from a workshop conducted at Infosys, Pune Development Centre (DC).


Many a times I have visited Infosys campuses at Bengalooru and Mysooru.


The buildings, ambience in total the infrastructure is word class. Pune DC is also on par with the other two.


Other than the Infy campus, I had an opportunity to visit few more IT, ITeS and Non- IT firms in the last decade on various occasions. you will find almost alll the organisations today in the same fashion.
After talking to people at various hierarchies in those organizations and my friends at such organisations, I felt that the orientation of all these organizations is more or less on the applied science only from the perspective of earning, earning and earning and earning. Yes, they are meant to mint money. That’s the basic business rule. We all know it.


Even though all these sectors talk about learning, unlearning, relearning …, everything boils down to earning! They highlight the knowledge requirement but still it revolves around the term Earning!


Our teachers emphasized on the learning skills and inventory from the point of view to earn knowledge. After the globalization started at 90s, the emphasis has been on learning IT, BT, Commerce, Management, and Medical sciences. Pure science and Arts has gone to rocks! No one prefers to get into these departments.


Being in teaching from fag end of 1999, I have observed the following mentality among the students.


Speaking in the local language /mother tongue is treated as a crime!


Working offshore is very very essential and then only our life is full circled!


If you are not westernized not fit to be on earth!


Not going to private tuitions will not fetch more marks


Even majority of parents/guardians do think on similar lines. All these have led to want of money and ignorance on learning the real knowledge.

ಮೊದಲ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ

 

ನಮಸ್ತೆ
I am taking my first step to Blog.
I have been follwoing couple of blogs and reading other couple of them.
On requests of few friends and my students, I drew my attention for e-writing.
This is my ಮೊದಲ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ.
