Those with strong opinions about DINKs, here’s a real story: I was 2 months pregnant when I tweeted this, desperately asking to fix this road. Every office or hospital visit was a nightmare—I’d clutch the car seat, praying nothing bad would happen. The only ones to troll me 1)

As soon as summer starts, I got my AC serviced. The technician came, cleaned it with water, and then the same old script began: “Ma’am, the gas has leaked.” “The valve is leaking.” “There’s a hole in the coil.” And then the bill: ₹350 for cleaning ₹2000 for gas refill ₹1500 for valve Total: ₹4000 every year, for each AC. I asked, “How does the gas leak every single year?” He replied, “There’s a drain nearby, that’s why the gas leaks.” But there is no drain near my house. Then he said, “It has an aluminum coil, and the heat is too much.” I said, “But it has a 5-year warranty. You said nothing would happen.” He replied, “The compressor is fine, but the coil has a hole.” So I asked, “What about the warranty?” He said, “Ma’am, gas can leak anytime. There’s no warranty for that.” This isn’t just a story about an AC. It’s about a system that somehow always makes you feel like you’re at fault. Have you also faced similar “gas leak” issues with your AC or refrigerator? Do share your experience.
