Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/are-you-being-served-would-you-like-to-be/ Articles like this one from the The New York Times explore a facet of life in India that most visitors from the West will surely notice, and anyone that lives here will have to confront to some degree – having servants, or “help”. I still don’t even like writing or saying the word. A lot of that undoubtedly has to do with some kind of privileged-white-person, colonial-style guilt. Perhaps it is just something I am simply not used to, having grown up in a middle-class household in Australia. Whatever reason you want to attach to it, generally speaking I feel uncomfortable with someone serving me unless they are working in a restaurant or a hotel for a decent wage. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Tennille Duffy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/are-you-being-served-would-you-like-to-be/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/are-you-being-served-would-you-like-to-be/#item7576 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:00:10 +0000 Tennille Duffy | Author bios | The Punch
