(CNN) - A breakdown in Pakistan's national power grid plunged the country of 212 million people into darkness on Saturday night, officials said. 'A countrywide blackout has been caused by a sudden plunge in the frequency in the power transmission system,' Pakistan's Power Minister Omar Ayub Khan said on Twitter. He asked people across the country to remain calm. This is Pakistan's most widespread power shutdown in the country since 2015. In a statement, the Ministry of Energy said that, according to an initial report, there had been a fault at the Guddu Thermal Power Plant in Pakistan's southern Sindh province, which had caused power plants across the country to shut down. In Karachi, witnesses reported seeing long queues at gas stations as people rushed to buy petrol for their home generators, which had been running overnight. 'There are long lines outside petrol pumps in the city, cars are queuing as people buy fuel for their back up generators. I was in the line, people have been waiting for hours with petrol cans in hand,' said Akbar Saifi, a resident in Karachi. Efforts are now underway to restore power to various parts of the country. Large swathes of Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan, still do not have power, according to information shared by K-Electric, the company supplying power to the city. At 6:44 a.m. local time on Sunday, the minister for Energy Omar Ayub Khan tweeted that power had been restored to major parts of the capital city of Islamabad. Abdullah Khan, spokesperson of PIA, the main airline of Pakistan said that all flight operations remain functional despite the power outage. 'All major airports in the country have back up generators,' he said. Power breakdowns are not uncommon in Pakistan and most major hospitals, airports and other institutions have their own generators. Those who can afford to often keep petrol-run generators at homes in case of power cuts. - CNN

Vashti Guyadeen’s journey as the CEO of the Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI) is marked by a deep-rooted commitment to empower the service industry in TT and influenced by her faith.
As a Hindu woman, Guyadeen said because she is being guided by principles like
dharma – the pursuit of right duty – she prioritises ethical leadership and actions that serve the greater good.
“The concept of karma – the idea that every action has a reaction – reinforces my focus on the long-term consequences of our strategies and initiatives, rather than seeking immediate but unsustainable gains. It encourages me to look at the bigger picture and strive for excellence in our services, ensuring that we add value to our stakeholders in a meaningful and enduring manner.”
She said the practice of
seva or selfless service forms the core of her leadership ethos, aligning with TTCSI's mission to benefit its members and the community.
[caption id=\"attachment_1044951\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"577\"] Vashti Guyadeen says when it comes to balancing leadership and her personal life, she draws on the wisdom of Indian-American business executive Indra Nooyi. -[/caption]
“In essence, my faith has instilled a sense of purpose and a commitment to contribute positively, which permeates the culture and goals of TTCSI as we aspire to be a benchmark of excellence regionally and globally,” she told WMN.
Guyadeen is a researcher by nature – a skill that was further developed during her study of history over the years.
“At my very essence, I remain a researcher, an identity shaped by a deep-seated love for history instilled in me during my formative educational experiences at the University of the West Indies and Naparima Girls’ High School,” and continued at the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business.
The catalyst for her fascination with history was Joan Dinoo, her secondary school history teacher whose love for the subject was “infectious.”
\"Under her tutelage, what was intended to be a prelude to a legal education transformed into a lifelong vocation” Guyadeen said.
“The rich tapestries of Latin America (I was intrigued particularly by Eva Peron and African histories, as presented by excellent lecturers such as Dr Brinsley Samaroo, Dr Bridget Brereton and Dr Andre Baptiste) captivated my curiosity, compelling me to continue in the field and eventually complete a master’s degree in history.”

This foundation was instrumental in honing her critical and strategic thinking skills.
“I have always possessed a strong aptitude for writing, and by leveraging this innate strength, I have meticulously sculpted my career path...This strategy of focusing on inherent strengths has been fundamental to my professional development and accomplishments. On introspection, each job that I held prepared me for the next.”
