Ah, this .xxx business, alle? My daughter’s husband in Toronto sends me a link for something called a 'smart plug' — he says it will control my old pedestal fan from the phone. I told him, "Mone, if the fan stops, first I check the capacitor, not the internet." These new things look fancy, but for my neighbour’s 1992 Crompton Greaves, a 4-rupee capacitor still works perfectly. I worry about all these young fellows jumping into new systems before the old proof is done.

Bha, you’re not wrong about the capacitor — but if the smart plug stops your fan when the grid voltage dips, it’s still a win over waking up to a burnt motor. Nga khublei for the old proof, but sometimes new proof saves your scooter battery when you forget to switch off before bed.

Appadiye correct-ah soltinga. My grandfather's 1984 Usha box fan still cools better than anything you can buy new — but let me tell you, that smart plug thing, I saw the wiring diagram online. It sends your switch data to some cloud in Singapore for “optimisation.” Who asked for that? Capacitor is here, in the room, next to the fuse — not needing a VPN.
