Ms. Rajeshwari
Sep 10th, 2005 by MadV
Talking to Rajeshwari aka Raji in the night is my favorite past time. She is none but almost 17 year old girl working for her living in our hostel as a housekeeper. Very sweet girl who smiles on almost everything. She loves to talk very much. She has got lot many work to do everyday. She is the one who brings us food to our respective floors. And she is not supposed to use the lift. Poor girl she has to walk all the 4 storeys bare foot with huge load. She said to me once that she sleeps only by 2′O Clock in the night. And has to get up at 6:00AM. Poor girl.
I’m learning Telugu from her now. At times I think am I really troubling her by talking to her in the odd hours. That only decreases her duration of sleep. But she loves to talk and I love to listen. For her each of us resembles some actress. One is Kajol, another one is Sreedevi and so on for her. (Thank God that she hasnt given me any pseudoname).
Her home is too far away form Hyderabad. I guess she goes home very less frequently. Nothing to dream about in her life. But she is happy. This is Raji in a nutshell.
Time to think.. Am I as busy as her? Or is there anyone who is as busy as her?

May b u can also think about the small ways u can help her…..
May b u already have thot abt it…. but I did not see it in the post….
dont lie to us.. come on.. whom do u resemble according to her…
may b the only time she enjoy in life is while talking with u.. who knows..
@Arun: Yep I have thought of something. BTW I dont like publicity in such matters.
@Jithu: Seriously I dont resemble anyone according to her. When I was talking to her yesterday, she told me that she’ll miss all of us when we leave the hostel. I’ll miss her too.
She said she is the youngest of five daughters of her parents. And still she has to work so hard. I have only heard that the youngest child is the one who is loved by everyone. And most of the time they consider that person as kid only. Wont even allow to do anything. But for Raji, she has to look after her family. sigh.
here is a personal opinion.
i was there at hyderabad only for two months.. my summer internship was in such a way that i was able to travel quite a lot inside hyderabad/secunderabad. the thing i noticed in hyderabad was the strong divide between middle class and lower class of the society. infrastructure wise yes hyd has developed a lot. it has all those hi-fi shopping malls and all bt according to me its as pathetic as a normal city of india as it can be. technology parks are fine bt the govt. shud’ve done something to upbring the lower levels of society where Naidu failed and lost the elections. Raji’s family seems to be a similar one for me.. a lower class one who earns for less and enjoy the least.. i had written abt my experiences abt hyd in one of my posts.. not this side..
That is not the case with only Hyd. Rich are always rich and poor remains poor. Maybe itz a problem with the government. But thaz in turn the problem due to common man like me and you. Govt is chosen by us only. We should work for the upliftment of the soceity rather than spending holidayz in Hawaii or blaming the govt. While having great great parties.. just think about the fellas who are striving for long dayz.
