‘I’m sorry Ammalu, I’m not here to wash your vessels, or sweep your floor or clean your cows’
‘Thank you my dear paying guest’
‘Paying guest, me? Have you gone mad?’
‘The house doesn’t belong to you. Neither the properties, not even the cattle. Then who are you, if not my paying guest?’
‘Where is the broomstick Ammalu?’
‘I wanted you just to pick up your coffee tumbler from the cupboard and wash once. That is all. If you do that small service, it is more than enough for me’
