Avoid Whirlpool products

Whirlpool, Whirlpool! The products we purchased actually made our life a whirlpool!

We had purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator (6th sense technology) and a Whirlpool washing machine (6th sense technology yet again!) - the sports version in February 2010. And after much research we thought Whirlpool is a good buy.

Unfortunately, we had to sell off the refrigerator in September 2012. Why? Because in these 2.5 years, it gave us so many problems that we just had to dispose it off. I was lodging a complaint every now and then in the time the refrigerator was with us. The problems ranged from the sensor, compressor, light, freezing or over-freezing,... The list would go endless. Uff! Now we bought an LG refrigerator and we are happy. Life's Good!

The Whirlpool washing machine has been giving us problems since earlier this year too. And I've been placing so many complaints that it's a headache! Our washing machine is not working since 22nd September 2012. And as per the Whirlpool technicians, the new part is not available. Somebody came and changed the motor & the washing machine still didn't work. And now they are telling they are trying to find a new part and they may find it in 2 days or it may take 5 days or a bit longer. When, they can't tell! This washing machine will have to go. Unfortunately.
We'll buy an IFB washing machine soon.

I've always had this thought that if a person wants the best, money has to be shelled out. Not that we didn't spend a good amount on Whirlpool - just that putting in an extra 4-5 grand on IFB then would have helped us avoid this re-spending on a washing machine so soon. And an additional 3-4 grand on the refrigerator would have made our life good from earlier.

My rating of Whirlpool - 0.5 stars out of 5 stars.

In fact, Kajol and Ajay Devgan being pretty decent actors must avoid being the brand ambassadors of Whirlpool. They can try being brand ambassadors of other better products. Are you listening?

Oh! The terrible lie...

Woke up this morning
Trying hard to hide my melancholy
I've joined you for breakfast
And we continued our lie...

Every day it's similar
You are so cheery
And so am I
Oh! our terrible lie..

I do wish sometimes
As I leave for work sullenly
Dreading the day already
Weeping far within...

The lie, terrible and unending
Would cease to be
And I would know the real you
And the real me...

...and no one knows

I am alone,
so very alone.

I am hurt,
so very hurt.

I am ignored,
just thrown aside.

I am security,
for others to have.

I am lonely,
there is no one close,
no one sees the pain.

I am alone,
and no one knows.
