At noon, maids own the affluent societies of the Indian metro cities.
Since i work from home and occasionally go out for the gym in the noon, I see maids everywhere… walking intentionally across the streets, catching lifts, chatting in groups, even giving each other a high-five while passing.
And somehow, I feel they know this place better than I do, and probably know more about the people living here as well. Every flat, every family, their weird habits… and then I secretly hope our cleaning lady doesn’t gossip about us with her friends.
It’s true that when a certain portion of society does well, even the less fortunate also get benefitted. But only those who work hard. If you know how to chew, you eventually get your pie.
But still seeing so many maids wandering everywhere is weird. While the flat owners are either in the office or working from inside the four walls of their home.
It’s similar to how rich people’s drivers usually get to drive their luxury cars and ‘get the feel’.
