I want to write about Anita who works with us for 2-3 hours everyday. She has completed her primary education in Marathi. But when it comes to helping us, she is more than a well-educated person.

During these days, we had lots of stress and work liabilities.Last week, Soham was asked to pay the school fees by demand draft at a very short notice. Anita willingly accepted to do this. This is inspite of the fact that she is not wellversed with English. She interacted the bank officials, got the draft and submitted it at the school office, informing me only after the work was done.

I had similar experience when I needed yearly statement from bank account for leagal purposes. The computer printer of our local branch was out of order. Anita spoke to the manager and arranged for a printout from Govandi branch which she promptly collected. On a few ocassions, she has spoken to and interacted with persons or officials in medical college, banks or even the proffessors as and when the situation demanded.

If she needs a leave on the day when I have some work or operation, she adjusts her leave accordingly. During Mohit's examination, we needed a scaner cum printer. She went with her husband and bought it immediately for us. She really thinks about our problems and tries to go out of the way to help us, which not even your dearest and closest person will do.

Even during Mohit's first day of MGM college, she as an elder Tai, accompanied him to show all the details about train, auto and other routes and Mohit also never felt odd to learn from or accompany this girl to medical college.

We are really lucky to have such a considerate, trustworthy Tai with us since last twelve years.
