It is one of those atmospheric evenings in Bangalore – the slight drizzle, the breeze, the sweet smell of wet earth. In the midst of all this a lightning strikes me...
Chatting up with the lady who cooks for me while she folds the big mountain of washed clothes I get to know that she is a graduate from St. Josephs College – a college of well repute and from where emerged the ever famous and successful Sabeer Bhatia (hotmail fame), Rahul Dravid, SM Krishna, Syed Kirmani, Robin Uttapa, couple of my colleagues from work and my own nephew. Poverty, a bad marriage, few medical mishaps, a job as a receptionist, a booming catering business gone wrong, a grocery business mis-calculated......some more distress risks later she lands herself a job of a cook, a cleaner a helper.
Whom should I thank for a blessed life that I lead and yet crib, fight, argue, get distressed, watch Desperate Housewives with such empathy.
