Day 1

Elmy | 28 July 2004, 10:59am

Day 1,

Sharda is dropped at Ameerpet by her mother. She is introduced to the lady of the house, Savitri.

Savitri has three kids the eldest is Madan a 10 yr old, the next is Mithali a 8 yr old and the youngest Shailesh a 3 yr old.

The elder kids are out at school, and first day of work starts for Sharda. She weeps a bit as her mother bids farewell, but is chided by her mother and Savitri. Savitri tells her, "Stop crying in this house. There has been no death. Keep all that crying with your mother, I do not want another sob in this house... Artham Chesikonu"

She is marched to the kitchen, where a piles of dirty dishes lay. She starts the cleaning, while Savitri lops on the sofa, to watch the afternoon Soap.
5 minutes go by and Savitri "Sharda get me a glass of water." Sharda fills in the water from the tap and takes it to Savitri. Savitri gets up with a furious scowl, and says " Never get water from the tap directly." Drags Sharda to the fridge and shows her the bottles and asks her to fetch water from here.

Emotionally tormented Sharda wants to cry, but does not as she fears that it could upset Savitri.

There are 3 water trips she makes in the next hour and answers the door bell twice. Savitri storms into the kitchen " Are you gonna wash the dishes all day, who is gonna do the other house work ?"

Well the dishes, sweeping and mopping finish by 3:00 pm. Sharda is ushered in the bathroom to wash the clothes. (This is not supposed to be a part of the job!! Who cares, we are paying her 60 bucks and food, clothing and shelter).

Next children arrive and the first evening spent .....

    If this is a real story, I'd like to meet this girl and help in whatever way I can - maybe contribute to her education so she can get out of here.
