Hour 1

At home,

Clothes washed, dried and ironed

Food cooked, served and table cleared

Floor swept, moped and kept in order

 

At office,

First to arrive and last to go

Updating every single file and minutes

Keeping everything upto mark

 

At social gatherings,

Each cup is filled even before it is empty

Each and every guest greeted warmly

Stays on tiptoes throughout the event

 

Her prevalence,

As vital as salt in food

As insignificant as the salt

Camouflaged or concealed behind the false esteems and probity

Her existence almost non-existent
