Punch and Shock

My taxi driver got me to the office in last the 10 minutes yesterday.  There was no traffic and he was always driving on the correct side of the road.  The traffic experience is different each time.  I was at work before the man walks around and turns on all the lights.  Yes - It is not automatic.  A man walks throughout the floor to turn on the lights for each area.  Then a security man comes around and unlocks the meeting rooms.  I assume if a man walks throughout the 2 floors to turn on the light around 545pm IST, then there is a man who must walk around to turn off all the lights once the cleaning crew is finished.  In the Westborough office, the lights are on automatic setting.  
Every evening I get to my desk there is always 2 bottles of water.  Maybe I will ask the Westborough office if the same thing can be done there!  I know very funny.

I am in the office.  The man has worked around and turned on the lights.  

I have 2 questions I would like to have answers.

What is a Puncher Shop?  On the route to the office there are tires hanging on the tree.  On the tires in white paint it is written "Puncher Shop".  The first thought is Rushabh an ex-eCW employee who 4 years ago while I was at the Mumbai office would tell me "Punch him!"  At first I thought why is he asking me to punch people??  He kept asking me to punch people.  He said to me Punch Shanawaz (another ex-eCW person).  One shift I went up to Shanawaz after he said something to me and I punched him.  Not PUNCH but just a punch.  Could I have hired someone at the Puncher Shop to punch a person?  It is like a Hitman.  Not the Hitman (Nitesh Gunda) who sits next to me, but a really Punchman.  I have tried to google Puncher Shop in Bangalore.  I get Hole Punchers as the top finds.  
Do Puncher Shops make the holes in the tires?  There are tires hanging on the poles.  Maybe this is Puncher Shop.  I think Rushabh is the CEO of all the Puncher Shop.

My second question is really a concern for the well-being of the people walking.  There are poles with wires along the sidewalk or walk areas.  There are wires hanging so low a person can touch it.  Also, there are wires that are exposed.  I see sparks coming from the transformers atop the poles.  Are the wires active.  If a person touches a wire with exposed little wires or covered, will they get shocked or electrocuted?  Why are the wires so low?  No one seems concerned.  The people walking are looking that the mobiles or looking at the ground!  Why don't the electric company tighten the wires?  There are so many whys and not even answers.  Has anyone accidentally run into the low hanging wires.  The exposed wires frighten me even more.  The one I saw today the vehicles could touch.  Exposed wires and metal are not a good mix.  What happens to the motorcycles using the walkways?  Do they get entangled in the wires?  See I could keep going.  I want to walk to the St. Anthony's Tile Shop near the hotel, but need to watch for the wires.  I may do it tomorrow.  I will get up earlier.  Let's see.

I have created another quiz for the team today.  Let's see how well I transferred the knowledge.
