Rohan gets up with a backache as his mattress is lumpy.He has to catch a train; he
opens the tap for bathing but there is no water! He goes to the roof to check the
tanks, a leak in the pipe has drained out all the water!
He sits for his breakfast and manages to save himself from falling, as the chair is
broken. To his horror, he notices a tiny cockroach in his food.
Now, would you like to be in Rohan’s place? Would you like to use a dirty toilet?
or wear dirty, torn clothes? Would you like to work in a shabby, dirty place? If
eating out, would you like to go to a restaurant with broken furniture or pests
crawling all over? Would you like to sleep on a dirty and lumpy bed?
I am sure the answer to all the above is ‘No’. These are very small things but
can make a lot of difference in your daily life. These small things are the very
essence of a good housekeeping. Had Rohan attended to the leak in time, repaired
the dining chair when it had just started creaking, or unclogged the drain the first
time it showed minor blockage, regularly disinfested his house at periodic
intervals,— it would have ensured a clear, comfortable environment in which
Rohan would have been happy and relaxed. He would not have felt uncomfortable,
depressed and frustrated or suffered from an inferiority complex. A good
housekeeping would have ensured smooth functioning of all gadgets, no leaks, a
comfortable environment in which Rohan would have enjoyed a hassle free living.
Thus housekeeping means attending to the small tasks in time.
