Well, I remember an incident back in 2018 in Mingatruir, Azerbaijan. There was a sudden explosion at the local hydroelectric power station in Mingatruir. At the time, I was moving from 8th grade to 9th grade, and it seemed interesting to me as a child. Unfortunately, the electric outage lasted for almost a day, which was quite inconvenient. Obviously, all the lights in the city were off, communication was limited, and household items didn't work. At that time, I was spending my time with my younger brother and relatives who were visiting us, especially my grandmother and aunt. We played games and talked; we tried to make the best out of this difficult situation. However, the problem was fixed, and everything returned to normal. This experience was the first time I had ever faced such a situation because it hadn't happened in my life before. Strangely, it became a form of bonding because everyone slowed down, and every family spent their time together.
