Anu is curious -
What is the rent for apartments in the building I live? Do I own the apartment or rent it? Where do my parents live? and siblings? Which part of the country am I from? What language I speak? Which festivals I celebrate? The questions are unending but phased. I ask about her life and she about mine. We end up having a Q and A conversation.

As an Indian in India, I cannot do without domestic help. They are easily available and luckily also affordable. We called them bai(sister), kaamwali(worker), aaya(servant), amma/mai(mother), chhotu/munna(small) or simply by their first names. In social circles, we refer to them as maids or euphemistically housekeepers.This blog is a tribute to the tug-of-war in a typical Indian household between the lady of the house and her bai. It is also a tribute to the colorful character of the Indian bai.
This blog provides a peep into the typical interactions upper middle-class working professionals in India have with their domestic help/maids. This blog also attempts to bring out the profile of average domestic workers in India (from an employer's perspective).
