STORY OF MY MAID

Today i would love to tell u all about my maid who can be counted in one of my friends. Yes it sounds different as generally a maid should be considered a domestic help only ,that is one who does the household chores n takes a monthly salary . I know one must not make her feel so much homely that she takes advantage of going away with our daily commodities like soaps, grains like rice or anyother daily necessities.Here u can count me in lucky few who by the grace of God has got a maid who is a maid less n my small sister more , she is a gem of a person although not educated . She has been always there with me when  i have needed her the most.  Yes i can still remember the day when i was operated for my thyroid n i was in the hospital for 4 days she was the one who took care of my house that is cleaning it n also if needed would cook something for my son who was small . after i came from hospital i was in two thoughts whether to go at my bro's place for a few days as the doc had given instruction that i should not go near heat that is cooking was a big no for a month , as my bro had a maid who cooked as well as cleaned the house my hubby first prefered to stay there for a few days. That was not possible as my son had to go to school it would be difficult for him to travel  from Santacruz to Andheri  .   So it was decided that i come home , I just told my maid to help me in cooking food for a month she without asking for a rise in pay did the job in such a way as though i have kept her also for cooking , after a month when i asked her how much she would take for the extra work she had done for me she just said ," why are u asking me about how much i will take ,she felt bad n she said i did it cinsidering it to be my own sisters house i won't take any extra money . Till now she has not asked for the money or even not increased her salary ,it is only that she considers me an elder sister who hears to her when she needs most treating her like one of my family member sitting with her to have lunch makes her feel happy . She feels when i can be so good to her trust her for the past 8 years then where does the money come in between a wonderful relation, one thing more i would love to add about her is she is a believer in TIT FOR TAT. It sounds funny but were she is treated in a way maid is treated she behaves in a similar way , the only thing they want is love, understanding there problems trusting them but there is one more reality that not all are lucky to have such a person to help u , there are a few in hundreds who are lucky to have them in their lives but the rest have to manage with the daily tiffs with maids. I thank God for sending her in my life n may God bless her with all the happiness in life.
