Slice Of Life: ‘I did not get any job as I am from different state’
Every person has a story to share. This column puts the spotlight on the people of Chennai, faces we see but rarely interact with — giving a glimpse into their struggle.
Chennai
I am from Pammur in Andhra Pradesh’s Prakasam district and came to Tamil Nadu six years ago. Now I am settled here. I’m married and have three daughters who are studying in the Anakaputhur government school. To make ends meet, I work as a housemaid. My day begins early in the morning and work all day in two different houses before returning home late in the evening.

They were apprehensive to employ me as I am from a different state.
