Ma, we are going on a
school excursion. Rosie Ma’am
needs volunteers. Can’t you
take a holiday from office
and volunteer?
‘MY MOTHER
DOES NOT WORK’ Harmeet’s mother
always comes for
excursions, beause
she doesn’t work.
Shonali, how can
you say that! You
know that Jaspreet
aunty is up at 5 a.m.
everyday doing all
the housework!
Yes, but that’s not real
work, it’s just house work!
Oh! That’s what you
think, do you? Let’s go over
to their house and ask
Jaspreet what she thinks!
Harsharan, Shonali
thinks that your wife
is not a working
person!
But isn’t that correct aunty?
My mother is a housewife –
she does not work!
Then Jaspreet, why don’t
you just relax and let them
manage everything for a
change?
Great idea!
OK, I’ll go on strike
tomorrow!
What fun! We’ll take care
of everything tomorrow
– with Papa!
Oh God! Look at the time!
Where’s my breakfast? Why aren’t
the children ready?
Ha, ha!
How would I know?
I’m on strike, remember?
Besides, Mangala has also
taken leave today.
Oh-ho! That’s
the school bus! I’ll
have to drop
them in the car.
Hurry, hurry! And
ask Harmeet to switch
on the pump!
At the Singh’s house
Next morning, 7:30 a.m.

But, what about the kids’ lunch boxes?
Oh no! Forgot
about that!
I’ll give you some money. Just
buy something from the
canteen today...
Ma already gave us
money for that!
Evening, 6.00 p.m.
I’m exhausted! How about
some tea? Oh, I forgot...your
strike...I’ll make some myself.
The house looks like it
was hit by a hurricane!
Did you expect it to remain in exactly the
same condition in which you left it this
morning, dear?
Harmeet, where
on earth are the
tea leaves?
Hee hee...
I wonder if they
still believe I don’t
work?...and now I have
to remind them that
Chachaji and Chachiji
are coming
for dinner.
