I was not able to take a picture of the event since I did not have any equipment to do so at that moment so I carefully observed the event and noted mentally things that I needed to fill in the form as I had earlier experience of reporting meteor events on this platform. I have tried my best to give information as accurately and to detail as I could give.

Remarks
It started the glowing rail as soon it was visible and the fragmentation puffs were large and packed. It was white with almost no or a little orangish tint. The puffs gradually got smaller in size and less bright but not so less bright that they could not be seen with unaided eyes at the evning time. I was able to see when the meteor broke apart in pieces (the end of the trail was abrupt and so my conclusion was that it broke apart).
Terminal flash

The trail ended abruptly when the meteor blasted into pieces creating an instant small bright shine before that happened it was creating fragments that were at the start of the observation bigger and packed in size but gradually had growing gaps between them and were smaller in size and were less bright towards the end.
