Maid in Pakistan :-
At least 50% of the discussion which takes place among middle class women in Pakistan revolves around the maid. “You can’t find a good maid”, “I had a wonderful maid”, “How is your maid”, “I am looking for a maid”, so on and so forth. At least 80% of the ladies are always on the hunt for a “suitable” maid.
Initially, almost 90% maids appear to them good. But then after a while, due to some mysterious reasons, there is a steep fall in the maid’s image. And with every passing day, she becomes more and more unbearable. The one who used to perform her duties well is no more doing it satisfactorily.
The main victim who is forced to listen to all the demerits of the maid is generally the husband. “She is not working properly”, “She comes late”, “She comes early”, “She does not pick the mobile”, “She was asking for advance”, so on and so forth.
Middle aged married maids with distorted figures are always preferred. Unmarried maids are avoided. Unmarried maids with attractive figures are seldom employed. Unmarried maids having attractive figures and sharp features are out-rightly rejected.
An average middle class Pakistani woman hires and fires at least a dozen maids in a year. However, the quest for the ideal maid continues.
Some maids have great stories to share about the neighborhood. The ladies listen to these stories with profound interest. Through these maids, they come to know about the marital relations of other women, their lifestyle and other trivia- for example, the amount of laundry at Mrs. X’ home (is colossal.) Meat is seldom cooked in Mrs. Y’s house and the (huge) number of guests who visit Mrs. Z.
Maids who provide the ladies with free massage alongwith juicy stories are highly cherished. But this breed of maids is now becoming extinct as the majority is too preoccupied and do not have extra time.
Whenever something is misplaced, the first suspect is always the maid. However, most of the times, the misplaced item is recovered from inside the cupboard.
While they keep an eye on the maid, the other eye is monitoring the spouse. Any sustained “suspicious attention” is unpardonable and the maid has to pay the price with her job. And soon thereafter, the quest for another suitable maid begins!
Eid lesson: Please don't forward the Eid Mubarak message/image without removing the name of the sender. I'm receiving Eid message from Akram with regards from Aleezay.
Please EAT something before getting vaccinated. It is in the guidelines too.
I'm not at the liberty to share my personal experience but the image below should suffice.
Pakistani Twitter is totally missing the point today. The important thing is not what happened on CNN but that Pakistan & Turkey led the international diplomatic efforts along with the Palestinian FM & today there is a ceasefire - well done to our diplomats/MoFA for their part!
Please stop using antisemitism as an excuse to silence voices of dissent and to absolve Israel of blame, @CNN.
Yet another attempt to paint Israel and its zionist ideology as victims.
The brides who excessively cry on their Rukhsati don't necessarily do so out of affection for their family, but are mostly afraid of their future.
Most arranged marriages are done under pressure and after brief interaction, the girl usually knows that the guy is toxic.
I don't find anything wrong in this letter. Who can possibly afford expensive education with merely 1.8 million per annum? There are other domestic expenses too like utility bills, medical, etc.
The college saved them from getting into an embarrassing situation later on.
Lower your expectations of others or better still, have zero expectations. That way you’re less likely to get hurt or disappointed. Rely on none other than the One who made you. Ask from none other than Him. Keep asking. Pray. Your prayers can’t be answered if you don’t pray!
Don’t hate the experience that shaped you. It’s what the Almighty wants for you. That’s why He sends specific tests to each & everyone of us. Everything happens for a reason. You may think it was a painful experience but if you bear patience, you’ll emerge a much stronger person!
