Sharda has been working in my house for several years as a domestic help. She hails from a small village in West Bengal. She lives here in Delhi with her husband and one daughter who is in her teens. She comes to my house in the early morning at 5.30 and gets retire from the days work in the night at 8 p.m. In between she goes to her house for two hours. She does every work very efficiently and skilfully. She never gives a moment of complains. Due to this fact we have developed a very cordial relations with her and her family. We regard her as our family member. We also pay her handsome amount. She gets Rs. 3000/- per month with all other facilities like foods, clothes, medicines, etc. Her husband is a rickshaw puller who also manages to earn a good amount everyday. Thus, Sharda leads a very happy life with us and her family members
The answer to above question is :
- The house help at our home is Kamla bai, she's working at our place since 10 years.

- Her husband works at mechanic shop.
- She lives few kilometres away from our house and she works for 6 hours.
- She earns minimum six thousand rupees.
- She cleans utensils, washes our clothes, sweeps oit house and helps in cutting vegetables.
The story:
Kamla bai is very loyal and kind. Once a stranger came to our home pretending to be tv mechanic somehow he knew our TV was not working so he came with a plan to rob us.
When he was talking to somebody on phone, Kamla bai heard their conversation and she immediately called police and informed us. Meanwhile she kept them busy. Later police came and arrested them and we came to know they were history sheeters.
Thus she saved us.
