<p>Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane experienced an unprecendeted, massive blackout on Monday after 10 am. All the power companies - MahaVitaran, Adani, Tata and BEST - confirmed the development. Several suburban trains on the central line and the western line have been suspended. Traffic signals have also been affected due to electricity failure.</p>
<p>The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) said, &ldquo;Due to grid failure, the supply of power in the city is disrupted.&rdquo;</p>

<p>"The electric supply is interrupted due to TATAs incoming electric supply failure. Inconvenience is regretted," it added.</p>
<p>Amid the back out, Mumbaikars working from home dished out some rib tickling meme on the power failure and #powercut soon became a top trend on twitter.</p>
<p>While some memes were about the sudden nature of the blackout, others hilariously mentioned how working professionals must be enjoying it.</p>
<p>Take a look at some of the funniest ones:</p>
