There is not much pollution there, here you sweep , mop and in the next hour you find a layer of dust,whereas you can vacuum just in the weekends there( my husband did this when he was in the US). Especially in Hyd, It is too dry and dusty. Agree with you, even my mom or for that matter even today my MIL at 77 is independant. They have the energy but itis different in case of working woman who have family and children. They need help.<br /><br />@ Vaish - yes, it is a case of huge demand and less suply. WE can depend on the gadgets and many of them have these. Again everything has to be operated by us and requires time. IT is sad in the case of full time working woman and young mothers especially who have responsible jobs and work beyond stipulated hours and commute long distances. It tires them and on top of it they have to balance home and career. There is no choice but depend on the maids/caretakers here.Ashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853943313848326731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-75551318185405604812012-02-23T15:55:03.887-08:002012-02-23T15:55:03.887-08:00I've never had any experience with Maids, coz ...I've never had any experience with Maids, coz My mum used to manage everything herself. But what you write is so scarry! Is that because there's so much of demand for these house maids, and they know their value? If people start to manage the household work by themselves, one day these maids will realise and come back asking for work! Instead of shedding so much money on them for washing vessels and cleaning, we can buy a good dishwasher/washing machine and vaccum cleaner and do everything ourselves. But how could a child minder be so careless? People are working for money and not for the service!Anuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824164089499448242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-64081886059232991412012-02-22T08:07:32.563-08:002012-02-22T08:07:32.563-08:00Life in india is Easy, if all those people had t o...Life in india is Easy, if all those people had t olive here abroad for a week they would know how and what it is .. <br /><br />here I am the master and I am the maid .. <br /><br />people are getting lazy thats what it is all about.. I remmeber when i was back home a child my parents are rich but we did not have maids to cook etc , mum did all that herself.. <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Bikram's</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-53612611359945114282012-02-20T08:30:57.710-08:002012-02-20T08:30:57.710-08:00Getting good help is really a problem.

I hate waiting for the maid to come, and then end up doing the work when they fail to turn up without any notice. Now a days things are better for they all have cell phones, and they can easily tell us if they are not coming<br />After shifting to our present house too I was doing all the work, but I became very ill and I had to keep some maid.<br />It was my luck I found a very good maid, who does all the work just the way I was doing, and she has been with us for last 11 years. She also doesn't like to work anywhere else,and I also don't like to keep anyone else.<br />For cooking I never liked to keep anyone. I sometimes wonder how people cannot manage without servant, I always felt I had more time and no tension when I was without any maid.<br />The problem is now a days people want a maid to stay with them, a maid to do the top job like swabbing, cleaning etc., then they want one cook, and they also need a driver, looks like there are more workers than employers in a house. All my neighbors have at least 4/5 people working for them and yet none of them are happy, and to think most them are just couples.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-58130399252218380652012-02-18T23:51:52.347-08:002012-02-18T23:51:52.347-08:00Hi Bhargavi, Tried commenting on your blog.

Congratulations on your book release and best wishes for the new addition. Hope you have it smooth.

They sure know that they are indispensable and give bhaav.. A friend paid 30,000 bucks to the agency that provided a cook/caretaker.. just like employers pay placement agencies for hiring employee..I have had trouble with maids for as long as i remember..And your Amirtham story reminded me of the maid in my paatis house - she did things without asking and would even brings us vadams and pickles she made at her house.These days these maids are just money minded !Bhargavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532498932030700441noreply@blogger.com
