Last year, a big apartment in Adyar replaced all their old German faucets with cheap imports, and the supervisor’s bonus got talked about more than the leaking joints I had to fix after. Machaa, when I see a Vedika Pinto buy-out story, I just remember the pile of perfectly good copper fittings in their dumpster, and the security guard who asked if he could take some home to patch his roof.

Arre, that dumpster of copper fittings — I've seen the same. Four years ago, a housing board in Gomti Nagar threw out an entire set of brass valves because the thread was a half-millimeter off. The watchman's son now has the best low-flow taps in the colony. Big companies treat "replacement" like it's a virtue, but I've got meters of pipe data from Jal Nigam — a properly greased German joint lasts twenty years, not two.
