@zunpulse you've one of the worst services possible for a critical product/solution ie Water. It's been over a week since complaints raised to report non functional RO. No response or updates. Pathetic service.

@PanasonicIndia after experiencing Toyota for close to 2 decades, believed every Japanese co. to have the same values for customer service, until I bought a Panasonic. Absolutely disappointing experience. No response or resolution. Doubting decision.

@WakefitCo Here is the report by the carpenter who visited my house to inspect the sofa.

[Srini @Srinikon]

@WakefitCo @SupportWakefit @WakefitCo Extremely disappointed with your service.
Bought a sofa just 2 months ago, raised issues,your carpenter visited, inspected, acknowledged clear quality defect. customer care team called and promised resolution, but nothing has happened since.

[Srini @Srinikon]

@WakefitCo No action yet, Inspite of providing all details. Additionally, your carpenter visited our place and collected pics and details. I get a standard scripted call stating that it'll be resolved in 24-48 hrs..which never happens.

@CivicOp_india @CMofKarnataka @osd_cmkarnataka @siddaramaiah The Babus sadly believe by moving vehicles they can solve the issue...they need to think about moving people...not vehicles.

SUBMARINE SPECIAL
🚽 The Legendary “Shit Bath” 🚽
(A Deep-Sea Spa Experience Nobody Asked For)

By: Cdr R Ravi Shankar (Retd)

Every profession has its little workplace inconveniences. Office folks complain about faulty air-conditioning. Teachers deal with unruly students. But submariners?
Well… submariners deal with pressurised poop in aerosol form.
Yes, dear reader, on this glorious Submarine Day, we bring you the heroic, foul-smelling saga of the Shit Bath - a traditional cleansing ritual practiced mainly by EKM (Kilo Class) submariners who apparently ran out of luck sometime around birth.
🚽 Step 1: The Poop Bottle - A Technology Ahead of Its Time
Inside a submarine, you don't simply “flush.” Oh no. That’s for land dwellers, people with breathable air and dignity.
Submariners instead deposit their offerings into a Poop Bottle - a container that sits ominously beneath the toilet bowl, waiting… judging… occasionally refusing to accept payloads depending on the donor’s previous meal.
Once full, the bottle must be “blown” overboard. This sacred duty is given to the Fore End watchkeeper, a man whose job description can be summarised as “responsible for whatever fresh hell happens next.”
🚀 Step 2: The Blow - Poop vs. Ocean Pressure
To eject the contents, the watchkeeper pressurises the bottle with high-pressure air.
When the internal pressure exceeds sea pressure, the hull valve opens and WHOOSH!
Poop is fired into the ocean at speeds that would impress SpaceX.
But there’s a small catch.
Once blown, the bottle’s pressure is now equal to the sea outside. That means the toilet can’t be used again until this pressure slowly comes back to normal. How does one reduce it?
By venting it back into the compartment.
Where else will the poop-flavoured air go? The ocean got its share already.
There is a filter, allegedly invented to remove odour. Submariners confirm it performs about as well as a PowerPoint presentation at a wedding.
💥 Step 3: The Legendary Shit Bath
Now comes the exciting part.
Sometimes you're desperate. The watch is starting. Your bowels are staging a mutiny. You enter the WC praying that the pressure has equalised.
But the pressure gauge is outside.
And your confidence is inside.
This is what scientists call an unfortunate design flaw.
You finish your business, hit the pedal…
…and suddenly the bottle decides to return fire.
What follows is a fine mist of poop, a fragrant marine aerosol that settles lovingly into your hair, eyebrows, and any life choices that brought you here.
Congratulations.
You have now received the Shit Bath - the unofficial baptism of the diesel-electric brotherhood.
🚿 Step 4: Clean-Up - But Only a Little Fresh water bath?
HAHAHAHAHA. No.
You get a sea-water wipe, the maritime equivalent of rinsing a crime scene with optimism. There is no shower - only a bucket, despair, and a prayer that no one outside smells your shame.
Then comes the 45-minute scrubbing of the WC walls and floor, a task so thorough that even guilt feels disinfected afterwards.
When you finally emerge, everyone knows exactly what happened.
Nobody says a word.
But everybody knows.
This is the submariner code.
🏖 Step 5: Shore Leave - Redemption at Last
Only when you return to shore will you experience the bliss of a real bath, clean clothes, and air not previously occupied by your colleagues’ internal organs.
Until then, you float underwater with courage, honour, and the lingering scent of recycled regret.

Final Thoughts
So on Submarine Day, let’s salute the brave souls who not only protect the seas but have also survived the terrifying, humbling, character-building tradition of the Shit Bath.
Some heroes wear capes.
Submariners wear… well, whatever they haven’t thrown away after today.

@AirIndiaX Had a wonderful smooth seamless check-in experience..so professionally managed by Kavya B. Kudos to her attitude.

@KFC_India order placed at 6.25pm, it's 8.11pm now, clueless about the order. Customer service goes unanswered. In the era of Quick Commerce, this is disappointing. Almost 2 hrs; Clueless

@Lenskart_com @peyushbansal Very bitter experience left me in lurch. Had visited LK on May 1 to get my wife's LK specs tightened. Store agreed to fix mine too. A Crizal Progressive with Original Puma frame. They broke the glass. Store agreed to provide free pair & glasses 4 frame

@WestsideStores Provided all details... Haven't heard from anyone yet.

[Srini @Srinikon]

@WestsideStores strange experience with Westside.Applied for club membership on April 6..still in transit. Are you serious. Afraid you're getting close to losing a customer/influencer.

[Srini @Srinikon]

@Lenskart_com Haven't taken pics of the product...they were placed inside a pouch by the staff. Believe they would've taken pics.

Went to the store since no updates until today. No action yet by LK. I'm traveling outside the country on a business trip on Monday evening. Clueless & Anxious 😰 Utterly disappointed with the service & lackadaisical attitude.
