My househelp married out of caste. She comes from the higher caste.
Her inlaws haven't 'accepted' her as yet. She says it is for that reason.
She and her husband have a 24 year old son, and a 22 year old daughter.

Priya is a very enterprising woman. She used to run a shop, till her husband pawned it on gambling when he was drunk.
She is currently learning sewing to make sure that she moves up economically.
Both her kids are graduates. The son works for a facilities company, (2)
her daughter as a salesgirl (shop). Both of them have moved into the grey collared zone.
Priya's ambition, and her efforts are humbling. there is a free badminton course - to keep in shape. She got me to download a learn English thro' Marathi course.

On most days, she is better dressed and groomed than me. She is learning different cuisines on Youtube, to be able to earn more as a cook (she cooks for us too).

Her life has more 'community' than me. She is an acive participant in her chawl's affairs. (4)
She has led petitions to the local ward to get local infra fixed.
I keep wondering what would she have done with the opportunities that i had.
She would probably be running the state or the city :)
