Always English (New 55 Fiction Friday)
Overheard at Delhi National Airport, while waiting for a flight.
Mrs. Mehta, a top executive at McKinsey telling her daughter over the mobile phone, “Now Pinky darling listen, tell Ayah Ma (nanny), if she speaks in her Hindi again to you, we will deduct 10 rupees each time from her salary. Our house, always English.”
Inspiration: Sepia Mutiny I Can't Drive 55.

Sometime ago, I had written some flash fiction for Sepia Mutiny. These are 55 words flash fiction - a small story that carries its essence in exactly 55 words.
I am bundling three of them together as collection of 55s under the title "I am a middle-class Indian and my obsession is - I just can't help freaking about". Enjoy. Help.
