Solution
Manisha has been working in my house for several years as domestic help. She hails from a small village in West Gujrat. She lives here in Jaypur with her husband and one daughter who is in her teens. She comes to my house in the early morning at 5.00 and gets retired from the days work in the night at 7 p.m. In between, she goes to her house for two hours. She does every work very efficiently and skillfully. She never gives a moment of complaints. Due to this fact, we have developed very cordial relations with her and her family. We regard her as our family member. We also pay her a handsome amount. She gets Rs. 3000/- per month with all other facilities like foods, clothes, medicines, etc. Her husband is a rickshaw puller who also manages to earn a good amount every day. Thus, Sharda leads a very happy life with us and her family members.
