When man or woman indulges in a life of superficiality with no substance to back him or her up, he or she can never appreciate the hard work that their partner makes to make life smooth and working. A brilliant poem full of wry humour.

There are such specimen females like the lady protagonist of this poem and such home loving, hard working and committed husbands! Such snobbish women who are not able to value the merit of such husbands are a real curse to the family! Of all the characters figuring in the poem, the Goan lady maid, so patient and sweet has captured my attention the most! She could stand the kids’ antics Sagely composed like a stoic I have seen such nagging brats... terribly spoilt by the parents, ill treating their maids and insisting that they should cater to every whim of the children! The poem altogether gives the impression that in a family where a woman thinks too much of herself and is unable to give due respect to what her well meaning partner does, something will be amiss! Great characterization!
