  • Strange Ways of Discovering Quality

    I’ve been using this Philips trimmer-shaver for quite a few years now.

    Only this morning I powered it with this brand new battery, Eveready Ultima Alkaline.

    My trimmer-shaver never ever worked this way. Never ever. Never ever. And I never got a better trim than this.

    All the while I used Duracell to power this gadget. And all the experiences of using this made me feel like these trimmers-shavers behave in a certain ‘non-satisfactory’ way; that’s the way they are built, that’s the limit of their performance, no matter the brand or company.

    Today’s experience with this Eveready Ultima Alkaline changed it all. Only now I get it that the gadget was actually made for such a performance. And only today I was in a position to experience and compare the performances.

    I thought Duracell was the best; the gadget was built like that. Turns out the gadget was built for a super performance and Duracell was the culprit.

    It didn’t have to be this way but it has turned out this way. Even with all the awareness and heightened senses, it takes time to discover what’s quality.

    Remember, Eveready Ultima Alkaline. No, I am not paid to promote this but the drastic difference in my shaving experience makes me write for it.

  • Quality now?

    There was a time when quality meant DURABILITY. At least a large part of it I can say.

    But then what’s DURABILITY in turn? 2 meanings for me:

    • Has long life
    • Low on maintenance
      • Relatively little effort needed to maintain
      • Relatively every effort to maintain proves economic

    While there are warranties on many things we buy, especially the ones that carry high ticket prices, there are plenty of things that do not offer any idea about their durability. Do you experience that too?

  • Understanding Bricks

    Lot of construction happening over here in Ahmedabad. Plans become buildings so rapidly.

    I see these big grey colored bricks being used for elevation.

    When we think of buying a house, do we think what kind of bricks the walls are made of?

    Should we bother about some more technical aspects of construction itself?

    Or is it just all so safe and rightly done, we don’t need to bother?

    Should we get a map of all wires and pipes running hidden throughout the building? Are the builders giving these things for new buildings?

    Why don’t we want to know such particulars? Is it boring?
