Seema came into my life... when I'd lost all hope... i was covered in dirt (literally)...
Ok ok Id just moved into my new apartment... and she rang the bell just when the movers had done their thing...
Looked me up and down and volunteered her services (she said she used to clean for the previous occupants & would try m e out for size.. no commitments mind)...
Being as I had not had the luxury of a maid for a good 2 years (thanks to my paranoid parent)I managed not to fall on my knees and grovel. But took what was offered in as cool & calm a manner as manageble...
Its been 4 months... and Seema has taught me a lot.........
She hails from Kolkatta and moved to Mumbai when she married.. her husband drives a riksha and drinks...
Seema has a 3 year old girl who shes had to leave behind in Kolkatta.
Seema can read.
She comes to work rain or storm... if I'm not in or asleep she keeps coming back till I open the door and she can clean
Her mom is dieing....
Seema can only think positively She only thinks good.
Her glass is always half full.
Recently Seema asked me when I would marry, when I retorted that I had yet to find a suitable match... she laughed and said lightly "didi God made you.. so he mustve made a man for you..."
People come into your life for a reason a season or a lifetime..
Shes clearly in mine to teach me stuff.......good job Im a fast learner...:)
May you all find your Seema's...

Kim, touching story.. good to see your blog, and that you have revived it after a long hiatus :)
Hmm it isnt another common man story, full of feelings , desires & dreams, her thoughts seems positive yet she gotta whole challenging life, & the appreciation goes to her to live it full.
