Maid for each other........

I never thought I would be one of those who'd fret over a missing maid. After all, I've managed the show on my own (with a lot of help from hubby, ofcourse) in the U.S., so why cant I achieve the same results in India?..........Boy, was i wrong!!!!!!!!

My maid/woman Friday/indispensable manager of my home is on leave following a broken arm (incurred during her divali vacation), and my entire world has fallen apart. The one time supermom who was unfazed by any messes that her kids made, has now been reduced to a screaming control freak (i'm talking 'bout myself, ofcourse!)

I've realized that when you're caught up in the basics of life...... beauty, creativity, spirituality all go out for a toss.

Well, on the brighter side though, i've bonded with a lot of people who've sympathised with my situation....

friends offering me the services of their own maids in their free time,

neighbours acting as very efficient HR personnel to find me a substitute,

family sympathising with my situation....

Every little grievance that i had with my woman Friday have disappeared and i've included her well being in my prayers.........and not just for selfish reasons!!!
