My host, my friend, my adoptive family, Geeta, oversees her maid, Anita (right) on the preparation of breakfast.
Geeta is the consummate household manager. Each morning, she arises before her family to start the day’s cooking and cleaning. By 8 am, she has prepared chapati dough and hot tea, and has made inroads to preparing breakfast and lunch for everyone in the house.
I stand in the kitchen doorway and admire her efficiency — and try to stay out of the way!
