Sharda Makes Friends

Elmy | 3 August 2004, 3:27am

Sharda goes down with the dog. She is releived to come out of the house though. The pressure was telling on her.

She walks down and does not know where to go. The buildings security directs her towards an open space, where she sees, a couple of more dogs and house maids.

She walks to the open space and is welcomed by the maids.
They question in a chorus, "You must be the new maid at, 402 D" She reluctantly says yes.
Where have you worked before this, asks Malini who more or less is Shardas age.
Sharda "This is my first job"

Malini "Oh lucky, first job and in such a good house"
To work independantly I had to accompany my mother to a couple of homes, work there for free. With the experience I managed to get work at the Gupta's place.
But all of us here, hanker to get to your house. Its just 3 little kids and they buy you a new dress every Diwali."

And everybody nods in acquiescence. 

Not wanting to hinder on their inference, Sharda nods too. She wants to maintain a false sense of pride, which she has felt for the first time in her life. She drowns the whole days trauma in this sense of pride. "After all I am working in the best house on the block"

Poor soul she does not realise the headaches associated with this vanity and fame. It would have been better to cry all her grief out then to hold firm and hope for a better day.

Next Shardas day continues....



Current Mood: Confused
Current Music: Yaari hain Imaan mera yaar meri jindagi
