As we grow old we find it difficult to do household work like sweeping, moping, doing the dishes and so on. We often hire maids or house help in India but these maids are sometimes very insincere and try to blackmail us or cheat us. This is what my maid has been doing of late. She is staying absent and sends a substitute. Now I have to pay extra. This time I have decided to minus the extra from her payment as my maid has started playing this game every month.
