Scavenger

At that time we were at Manchala street.Toilets were outside and daily scavenger used to come and clean it. We have to pour water while she cleanses it. As it is a difficult and unrelished job, she would come drunk in the mornings. She was aged, stout and dark. We were all afraid of her because she used to abuse us if we were not ready with water when she came.

It seeme that she saw my dance programme when Chief minister had visited our school.Nextday, when she came to clean our house she scolded my brothers and sisters. She was saying that they were all waste candidates and appreciated that I preformed jubiliantly and actively like a deer.Everyone in my house started laughing. That was the first time they heard her praising some one .
