Trickle down effect of economic boom
We have been staying in the same colony for more than a decade. Though we have shifted residences within close proximity twice,the “service” providers continue to be the same , whether it be the newspaper vendor or the guy who cleans the car. Decade is a reasonable time span for assessing the progress of families who are providing the “services”. The newspaper vendor has not lost his throwing power. His assistants keep changing every now and then. Some do come back for a second innings of internship with the newspaper vendor. Nothing seems to have changed for the newspaper vendor as he has been using the same scooter. If he has a better vehicle, he must be using during broad light saving it from morning blues. The decade has been spent with the services of three servant maids…. All of them have one thing in common… all of them have more than five children…. All of them have husbands who drink and vanish for days together.. . The only progress witnessed is their daughters getting marrie
