Pranam. Refill packs (bags). Insulin pen usage is good for travel too only when one medicine is used ; it is useless in general mixed insulin conditions. The demand is waning. Refilling is a trade now where even the printing cartridges are refilled and people desire ,unaware of damage to their machines. Is the water filter changing?. I am not aware of it. Then ammonia gas in the AC unit may also be a refilling. Refilling packs of drinks reminds me how we have become so lazy, and run for stuff from the marketeers at extra cost, which are powders of nava dhanyam, mixes with the palatable sugar contents etc. Change of shapes of sattu mavu are the varieties of the procuts in the market. We are also only refillers; Punarapi jananm punarapi maranam. KR IRS 261221
