This one goes out to my beloved Aunty-Rajeshwari. I have always believed in the theory of guardian angels.Whether I believe in it bcos it almost always comes true in my case or I believe in it newichways is something that I have never pondered over. Nevertheless she has proved the existence of this theory in my life one again by her presence.
Rajeshwari aunty is my maid. Although I hate giving her this introduction, I have never considered her one.
The onus that she has taken on herself for my well being is humbling to say the least. And for reference all she gets for doing the most extraordinary things for me is just Rs.800 per month.
Despite being sick at times she almost always shows up so that I wont go to office hungry. Reason being her conscience doesn’t allow her to send me off without being fed. She does more than what her job profile says & expects nothing in return. Be it doing everything so that I wont have to lift my finger, to taking care of me without being asked. Getting me hooked on to my morning cuppa, helping me decorate my sweet lil room and falling down in the process and suffering injuries, oiling my hair, massaging my ailing back for weeks, she has done it all. The beauty of it, shes never made me feel that shes obliging me. On the contrary she has made me feel like her own kid, whom shes looking after.
No amount of gratitude is enough to express how much this selflessness of her means to me. In this mad convenience savvy world, people like her make me feel that ‘all is not lost yet’. Not yet!
