Bai-Chara

Presentation in front of a 5 member jury of a big company,making my best 6 combo meals ready for food tasting in a three day notice period really kept me and my 2 maids on  our toes.Shopping for the best vegetables,customizing the boxes ,designing the 36 course menu was both xciting nd stressful .My husband was travelling,my  son was  supporting me morally saying mama u will rock.And when the day of final presentation arrived,a dear friend of mine,my maid and me went to the company with everything.The panel of judges came and they started tasting and appreciating our food so much so that in that moment only i forgot all my ankle pain and stress but in the process i had forgetten that my maid has two small children who were at home alone for four hours.In the process of making my own company i had probably  forgetten about my maids family,but in the middle of the presentation my phone rang and i in a hurry responded to the call and enquired who it was and surprised to hear the slow and shy voice of my other maid 'didi mi archana;......what happened i asked nd she told me that she had   feed the two little children of jyoti,my other maid who was with me.The gesture really touched my heart,in a world where everybody is so selfish including me and crib for not having time, the lady had done something probably nobody will like to do.

  1. Great going Usha, keep up the good work. Loved the way you mentioned about the qualities that make a person stand apart in this selfish world.all that you do today comes around some time in life.. am sure ur bai's also love ur company and hence work so selflessly in assisting you.
    Moving forward, all the best for the corporate orders and advance wishes for a happy chinese new year.
