....shehrina tired and bored with lots of free time  decided to apply in the nearby school  , jobs weren't easy to get full time   secondly Hamida beghum needed her and shehrina herself didn't want to stay out of the house  so long , Hamid beghum didn't  object this time because she had seen  her daughter  moving around   in a dazed crazed manner,  going out part time could help  her gain  self control 

Shehrina returned home  starving  after the interview and went straight to the kitchen,  she already had cooked the meals and all she now had to do was  heat up the dishes and serve   the food on the dastarkhwan arranged in Hamid beghum  s room, , shehrina declared she was hungry,   from Monday she was to be on trial basis for a couple of days before she is  approved  and appointed,  it was a good school  and  just walking distance away,  a morsel stuck 8n her throat,  she got up to get water she had forgotten to place  before sitting down to eat, 

Hamid beghum  commented  if only  she had  eaten her breakfast  she wouldn't be  feeling so starved,   

She couldn't eat for excitement   of her interview  but naturally if she gets the job she will definitely be regular  at breakfast  before leaving  for work,  she refused to agree with ammi to give up home tuitions  for which she was handsomely  paid
