I read DEW1′s blog and her posts are so condescending. You are right, she should expect to be made fun of if she can make fun of a poor girl’s efforts to put together a CV.

If someone wants to publicly make fun of a poor girl’s efforts to put together a CV so she can try to get a job and help feed her family, they can expect to be ridiculed publicly for their lack of empathy.

And I’m perfectly entitled to a PIO card since my wife is of Indian origin.

Thanks again.

And possibly you could have “reported” that expats are certainly not the only ones who struggle with staff woes. Nearly every Indian woman I have met has been tremendously frustrated by having staff in their lives.

I am also very surprised that you, as a journalist, did not interview the women you quote in your blog. If you had, or if you had read more of their blogs, I am sure you would have found that this is barely one-one hundreth of what their experience in India has been. I don’t know DEW1 but I do personally know DEW2 and while her house is being cleaned, she is volunteering in the community in a million different ways. She is giving back to India. She is not sitting around having caraway seeds picked out of her teeth for her. She also tells about the amazing people she has met and the historical sites she is visiting. And the frustration of being treated special when most expats find the caste system ridiculous.

Anyway, your little poke at their struggles surely created some laughs but it is only a very small part of a much larger story that you completely missed the boat on. Finally, it is ironic that you brag about getting a POI card that you are clearly not entitled to and then you roast these women for complaining about staff as if they are the brats. Hmmmm.
