A heartwarming story from Bengaluru is capturing attention online after a woman narrated an amusing yet impressive encounter with her domestic help. The highlight of the post was how her househelp communicated about taking leave in a way that could rival corporate etiquette.
The woman, identified as marketing professional Simrann M. Bhambani, took to LinkedIn to share her experience. She expressed admiration for the polished manner in which her househelp conveyed the absence. What stood out to her was not just the clarity of the message but the effort behind it, which made the exchange memorable.
The Viral Post
Simrann explained that her househelp sends leave notifications more systematically than many professionals she has worked with. Instead of a hurried excuse or vague message, the domestic help provided a well-structured note in English via WhatsApp.
"My househelp takes 'sick leave' more professionally than half the people I’ve worked with. She WhatsApps me a detailed leave note in English. Professionalism: 100/100..."she wrote on LinkedIn.
Interestingly, the message was typed with the assistance of her 10-year-old daughter, which added an extra charm to the gesture.
Her post, highlighting this unique incident, quickly gained traction online. For many, it resonated as a quintessential Bengaluru moment—blending professionalism, tech-savviness, and a touch of humor.
Online Reactions
The story sparked a flurry of responses across social media. Several people drew comparisons between their own experiences with househelp in different cities. One user humorously pointed out that in North India, maids often skip work without notice, leaving families scrambling to explain delays at their workplaces.
Another participant admitted that even while applying for personal time off at their job, they rarely bother to give detailed reasons, suggesting that the househelp’s approach seemed more polished than their own.
A different comment shared how their own domestic help once went above and beyond, bringing medicines when she noticed her employer was unwell and continuing to check on them—a gesture they described as truly Bengaluru in spirit.
Meanwhile, someone else added that in Delhi, househelp rely heavily on quick voice messages. The entire communication would often be limited to a short recording saying they would not be coming for the day.
