My host mom's maid lives with us so she is kind of like my second host mother. She doesn't speak english, read/write in any language, or let me do my own dishes. She is also hilarious. Some things from my stay so far:
- Every time she calls me to a meal, even if it's 9pm, she screams "CAAARRI! LAAANCH!"
- My host mother offered me apple juice. I went to the kitchen, where Sunita started pouring me a glass. She passed me the glass with a huge grin and said "Whiskey!" Later my host-mother told me that she was trying to trick me into thinking that I was getting whiskey.
- She pointed to my ipod and said "Mobile?"
There also aren't Marathi words for please or thank you, so I have a hard time when she washes and folds all my laundry for me before I get home.
