Dear brindha,

Thanks for writing in. True it is difficult to get good maids like her. My previous maid was so bad ,that I realised how much Selvi was so precious to me.

Your prayers will give people like Selvi all the happiness.

thanks and regards,

Thank you for your kind words. Selvi was very warm-hearted.And very dutiful daughter loving sister and mother.

When she had described how she stayed awake ,sitting on the boxes,while her son was studying ,it was very touching.

Hi Mindi,

Yes,I was lucky to have her. she was very different from my previous maid, who would take undue advantage.

With Selvi my perception changed, all I could do was empathise with her. Many like her lead miserable lives.

thanks and regards,

One day he complained of severe headache and stomach pain. My sister who is forever kindness incarnate did what she could do. On blood test it was found the man wa suffering fom severe jaunndice. All these servants are from Ratnagiri Dist(Maharashtra) and they solely depend on State Transport buses which takes for a Maharashtra Darshan. After reaching the village the man died within 2 days. We all felt like the demise of a brother who has been with us for a period of 25years!. Todate we can't think of Nattu(Nathuram) without tears. My sister as a small girl used to tease him"Why did you kill Gandhi" and he use to show her the broom.
Some of them as you have mentioned remain a reminiscience of the past. Good people always remain in memory. kanaka

True good people always remain in memory. Especially like Selvi and of course also ongathu Raman ,they are with us for so long,they are part of our lives.It is sad that he died of illness.I can understand how you must have felt.

cheers
