Wife's Soul Maid

The locational clues to a man's heart have long been known. Ever wondered where does the key to a woman's heart lie?

Simple - it lies with her maid. Someone who can be there for her and exhibit exemplary ability with mundane household chores; display the affection and perseverance of a Nirupa Roy as she finishes off a whole lot of additional work over and above her regularly alloted duties, be supremely honest despite her meagre income levels and bureoning needs, be more consistent than Rahul Dravid & Sachin Tendulkar in being at work in time and above all accept "Thy Lady's" commands - silently, unquestionably and preferably smilingly.

The maid is "The" key to the mood and ambience in the house. She is the centre of life; the key to irritation or decibel levels in the demeanour of your spouse. And as powerful (as Osama) in her absence as in her presence. Everything she doesnt do or doesnt do well enough is likely to have an equal and opposite cataclysmic reaction in your life for sure.

So, thank your stars as long as you have one that is reliable, regular and smiling ever so often. Or "run for cover" - maybe even an outstation trip, when you dont.
