Sajjan Bai was in her mid-forties, well-built and always walked with her head covered with a saree pallu (loose end of a saree normally draped over shoulder). Ironically, in a few Indian States bai refers to a maid servant but in many other places females are addressed as bai for showing courtesy and respect. Sajjan Bai was our maid when I was on deputation in IIFM, Bhopal.
Can’t agree more. It was like reading my own experiences. The most surprising part is that most ladies have similar opinion about maids. I have seen some respected ladies known for their highly appreciated skills and mannerism changing dramatically when dealing with their maids . Is it in our genes or part of our culture?
Till the last line I was in false impression that finally you have put on the armour and going for a head on charge. Jokes apart! This one like all your writings are not only great reads but all are inextricably intertwined with profound wisdom, humanity and messages to look beyond the obvious. Your stories are a source of etherial wisdom for me, and this blog has become a classroom where I have become your student again 😊
"It is not important how glamorous or highly paid the job is. The most relevant thing is whether one enjoys doing it.” Love collecting such nuggets of wisdom from these posts.
I am big fan of your humour in everyday simple observations.The way it's written, I am sure, Sajjan Bai will now get work in all the faculty houses on the campus 😂
Good Morning Sir, your way of writing reminds me of your classes at IIFM , you are master of making simple topics interesting for the audience. Thank you Sir.
Another gem, Sir :) I can almost visualise the IIFM bunglows and her around in her happy mood which you described so well. Really a memorable character.
