A Heartfelt Reunion
The story began with a simple message on Facebook, a casual inquiry about my contact details from a facebook friend.

The Rise of the House Help
I am the last of the generation and of a certain social milieu and thankfully so, that has seen that the domestic/house helps weren’t just people who were hired to assist the householders but rather there was a strict Master-Servant equation and set of principled do’s-don’ts that had to be adhered to.
