Cleaning Boys

Dear Friends!

Today even as some work remained to be done to complete our renovation, I called in the cleaning boys to do a thorough clean up job around house as we were living in a mess for the past 2 weeks.

Since these are trained boys I dint have to monitor their work. They did a good job of dusting off cement from all over and then sweeping and mopping the entire house. It is sparkling clean everywhere. All this until tomorrow, when men will troop in with their dirty tools to start work, this time to finish it off, hopefully as it has dragged beyond tolerable limits due to labour playing traunt.

Of the two boys I know one, the other, a new one, never opened his mouth to speak at all and I was admiring his being so quiet while laboring away at a job like this one. I was later told that this boy was deaf and dumb but he worked so well and understood the sign language of his mate as well as mine quite well.

It was worth it as the place has got back to some better state from what it was till this morning.

These Rs.550/- a day seems quite reasonable for us when compared to all the work we may have to do ourselves and for them its an additional income on the side besides their salary in the company they work for. Its great when mutual needs are met and work gets done.

Cheers!
