New Delhi:
The global Microsoft outage on Friday left millions of Windows users frustrated, with many experiencing the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error, causing their systems to shut down or restart abruptly. The outage, triggered by a recent update by cybersecurity platform CrowdStrike, affected various services, including flight operations, cloud services and Office 365 apps. In a lighter vein, Indian TV viewers have flooded X (formerly Twitter) with memes linking the outage to Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai’s beloved character Dushyant Painter. Played by actor Deven Bhojani, Dushyant is an electronics engineer and Maya Sarabhai’s son-in-law, known for his knack for fixing tech-related problems. His iconic dialogue, “I will explain,” has become a humourous point of reference for social media users, who are pinning their hopes on Dushyant to resolve the Microsoft issue.ย
