Note: I feel that the conversations in this post will appear best in their original language Hindi although I am writing them in English. I hope you will enjoy it.<\/p>\n
Maid 1<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cHum 800 rs lenge jisme hum sirf jadhoo pocha aur bartan karenge.
\nBathroom aur balcony saaf karne ka 200 rs extra.
\nMahine me 3-4 chutti, kab? Wo hume bhi nahin pta.
\nHum din me ek baar aayenge, kab? Wo hume bhi nahin pta\u2026bas aa jayenge.
\nAap ghar pe nahin mile ya darwaza nahin khola to hum wapas nahin aayenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
We felt as if she is hiring us for the house cleaning job. After gasping this reaction from that maid\u2019s job applicant Palak said<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201cKisi bhi time aa jayenge ka kya matlab, hum kya pure din isi chakkar me hi bethe rahenge aur jis time tum aap (she didn\u2019t dared to refer her as tum after her answer to the question \u201dkitne paise logi and kya kaam karogi\u201d) aaogi us time bartan hi nahin hue to??\u201d<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cWo aap dekho, kaam karwana he to karwao\u2026.humare pass itna time nahin he.\u201d<\/p>\n
Palak was astonished with this whole scene as she was new to the locality of Indirapuram. I was a silent listener till now but I took the opportunity to speak when Palak was searching for words. Telepathically we made decision that we are not going to hire her but since she was standing there like lady Dabang I played Sunil Pal\u2019s laughter challenge joke.<\/p>\n
Me: \u201c accha wo sab thik he. Hum tumhe 1200 rs\/month denge jisme tumhe saare bartan saaf karne
\nhe, matlab, jo gande he wo aur jo saaf he wo bhi.
\nAgar tum hume pehle se bta kar chutti karogi to tumhe 50 Rs inaam denge.
\nAgar tum aayi aur ghar lock hua ya humne darwaza nahin khole to hum tumhe 100 rs as a penalty denge.
\nSubah ke time kaam karne aaogi to chai and breakfast denge, lunch k baad kaam karne aaogi to lunch denge.
\nTyohar k dino me tumhe ek saari or tyohar ka inaam alag se denge.<\/p>\n
Bolo manzoor he. Karogi kaam?
\n\u201d<\/p>\n
(Palak\u2019s astonishment level was high as compared to the conditions put by that maid and conditions put by me. She thought I have completely gone out of mind. She was looking at me like her eyes will pop out from their place). The maid replied to my offer<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cKya Sahab, mazak kyun karte ho\u2026aisa koi karta he kya?\u201d<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cShuruat kisne ki?\u201d<\/p>\n
Palak burst in to laughter making a embarrassing moment for her. She left right away.<\/p>\n
This maid hunt started right from the day when I and Palak came back to our home after marriage. Palak asked me very enthusiastically to let her deal with the maids as I don\u2019t have any experience in this stuff. I laughed and said Best of luck to her. After above incident she might have known the reason behind my smile on that first day of ours as a nuclear family.<\/p>\n
Days started passing and both of us kept an eye to the maids who are coming in society. I asked few maids whether they are free to hold one more house, some said \u201cTime nahin he humare pass K\u201d, some said \u201chumare pass to pehle se hi itne ghar hein karne k liye\u2026ab kitna kaam karenge hum :0\u201d and some said \u201cthik he dekhte hein, ghar ka number bta dijiye, baat kar lenge wahan jaa kar \u201d. Those who visited our home for demo or talk left an unforgettable scene to us.<\/p>\n
Maid 2<\/p>\n
Maid to Palak: \u201chaan batao kya keh rahi thi tum?\u201d<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201dMaine kahan kuch kha, kaun ho tum aur aise kaise baat kar rahi ho\u201d<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cBaat to hum aise hi karte hein, kaam karne k liye bulaya tha na tumne, karwana he ya nahin??\u201d<\/p>\n
Till now Palak become aware how scurrilously these maids talk and they have a union in this society to not to take less than 800 rs for cleaning dishes and moping so she said<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201chaan karwana to he agar tum theek se karo to, aa jao\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cDidi!! Kaam hum A1 quality ka karte hein haan!!!!\u201d.<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201cAccha thik he, karo to sahi aur ye chappal to bahar utar do\u201d.<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cChappal nahin utarte hum, per(legs) gande ho jaate he humare\u201d.<\/p>\n
Palak didn\u2019t hired her. She told me that that maid was sweeping floor as she was trying how high she can lift the dust in air and after finishing her work she went to wash basin, used soap to clean her hands (wow!! how hygienic she is, first she didn\u2019t removed her slippers and washed hands with soap) and used our hand towel (e..e..aan\u2026that\u2019s something unusal).<\/p>\n
Maid 3<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cWo neeche Bhaiya ne bola tha ki aapko kaam karwana he\u201d.<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201cAccha, lekin tum kaam karogi ya phir koi aur\u201d.<\/p>\n
Shades on her eyes with head phones connected to her mobile around her neck, this lady was not looking like a maid at all. She entered in our home, threw her duppatta on the sofa, placed her shades on center table. Plugged head phones in her ears and started looking for broom.<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cYe jhaadu badlo didi!!, mere ko nya jhaadu mangta he\u201d.<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201c———-\u201d.<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cDekh lo, is jhaadu se thik safai nahin hogi. Baad me mere ko mat bolna ki kaam thik nahin kiya\u201d.<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201c———-\u201d.<\/p>\n
She was not listening what my Palak was saying as she was busy with the song sequence playing in her mobile.<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cDidi!! Aapke pass wo dande waala pocha nahin he kya?? Main jhook kar pocha nahn lagayegi, mere ko kmar dard ho jaata he\u201d<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201cNahin wo to nahin he\u2026isi se laga do\u201d.<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cNahin, is se main pocha nahin lagaongi. Waise hum ye kaam karte nahin he\u2026.mera to catering ka kaam he\u201d.<\/p>\n
Palak: \u201cTo phir kyun aayi ho?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maid: \u201cwo to subah ka time khali he isiliye, mera catering ka kaam to 11 baje se start hota he\u201d.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t come from next day. This maid was throwing tantrums like in few days she is going to come by Tata Nano J.<\/p>\n
We were wondering if these maids in our society have some requirement document which make them to stick to a home.<\/p>\n
I told Palak that here in this locality demand of maid is high and supply is less so these maids have their monopoly or I should say Dadagiri. These are like God to housewives so please do not supervise them or ask them to work in a particular way. We need them, they don\u2019t need us, so, we have to make adjustments.<\/p>\n
With such more scenes and experiences we finally got a maid who is not that much tantrum throwing but having the habit of not revealing her exact time and declaring her unexpected leave. I believe this is a \u201cKahaani Har Ghar ki\u201d.<\/p>\n
