Namma Jini Services & Care
A Possible Scene in a Home at 6 PM:
Ram (45) and Lakshmi (42) are a working couple who live in a two bedroom plus study apartment, which is part of a township. Both are aspirational and want to lead a good life with their son Bunty (12 years) studying in class 7 in a good school. Ram and Lakshmi work for corporates as they are well educated and qualified.
5:45 PM: Ram returns from work – one of the early evenings! Bunty receives him and after usual exchanges called “conversation between a son and his father,” Ram removes his shoes, has a wash, and picks up the newspaper to read. Bunty asks Ram for his mobile phone which Ram gladly gives. Bunty gets immersed in one of the favourite mobile games, which needs faster fingers than brain to play!?
6:30 PM: Lakshmi returns from work and is greeted by Ram and a smile from Bunty. Both go back to what interested them. Lakshmi freshens herself and asks Bunty, “Any Homework?” Bunty just shrugs his shoulders. Lakshmi takes Bunty’s school diary and sees that he has at least one hour of homework to do. She asks Bunty to stop playing with the mobile phone and get back to the study table and finish the homework. This results into an argument between the mother and the son and Ram wanting to remain neutral, goes to the bedroom and switches on the TV to see some news channel (what else?) This infuriates Lakshmi, who ensures that Bunty goes to the study table and throws the mobile phone to Ram to catch!
Lakshmi enters the kitchen to get dinner, next day’s tiffin, and lunch ready. He family then has dinner and by the time Lakshmi is ready to get into bed, she has no energy left and goes to sleep. Next day, it is a mad rush for all three of them. Rani, the housekeeping staff is supposed to come by 7 AM so that and by the time Ram and Lakshmi leave for work, the house is cleaned, and the dirty dishes are washed.?
7:00 AM (Next Day) Tension is palpable. Rani has not shown up. Even Tabby the dog, has stopped wagging the tail. Lakshmi rings up the neighbour, where Rani works and, wants to know if Rani had informed her about her not coming to work. Answer is negative and the neighbour also gets into stress! Ram realises that he needs to help Lakshmi since her anger can be felt by all, including poor Tabby. To cool the situation, Ram who was awarded the “Best dishwasher” award during the pandemic, starts cleaning the utensils in the sink! Hare Krishna! “Why not invest in a Dishwasher,” is the thought which occurs to Ram but when Rani turns up next day, the thought is put on a backburner!
3:30 PM: Bunty returns from school. Lakshmi calls bunty. Bunty’s phone is engaged. Lakshmi is worried. Lakshmi calls Ram. Ram’s phone is out of reach. More tension for Lakshmi. Bunty enters home and takes some sandwiches from the fridge, heats it up in the micro-oven, while continuing his conversation with his friend. After some time, Lakshmi is able to reach bunty, who tells his mother to relax. Bunty has a wash, changes clothes and switches on the TV. He watches an adult movie from one of the OTTs.
5:45 PM: the story repeats!
That could be many more scenarios which we witness day in and day out. There could be senior citizens living in that apartment. If he has an emergency or falls, there is no way help can come to him, until someone realises that something is amiss in that apartment. Your child, while playing can fall and, get hurt. You have no emergency medical aid in that complex. If the parents are also working couple, the problem gets further magnified. You have no access you get home-cooked food in a dabba, which you can take to your office or have it in your home. You can get you food from restaurants. Most of the food that you get from the restaurants is not healthy and if you have a child, it becomes difficult to depend upon restaurant food. Imagine if home cooked food can be delivered to you at your doorstep from within the same complex?
What is the point of having swanky clubhouse which cannot facilitate your daily requirements? What is the point in having at gym or a swimming pool which is not used? What is the point of being worried all the time from morning until night, whether at home or in your office? What is the point of not having access to medical help? What is the point of living if Rani does not turn up for work? What is the point of worrying all the time?
Our lives have become too mechanical and stressful. India has the world's second largest number of obese children. Our children do not play outdoor games. Not many children know about playing marbles, tops, kho-kho or pittoo. Our adults get lifetime diseases like hypertension or diabetes at a young age.
Nuclear families face maximum problems with minimum solutions. Is there a reason to live healthier life with less stress and more happiness in the company of each other in the family?
The answer is yes. The solution is from Namma Jini!

Need
All age groups need day-to-day services for which they depend on multiple service providers. To get handymen like plumbers or electrician or carpenter is difficult, and their services are expensive since few are available. Basic medical help is unavailable. Getting groceries to vegetables to gas needs planning. Requirements of school going children keep increasing. There is constant battle between home works, tuition classes, music, dance, art and culture classes. Outdoor games especially the traditional games are not to be seen. You do not see children playing with marbles or spinning tops or pittoo or Kho - Kho etc. Getting children to play Tennis or Badminton or Basketball is extra work for parents to organize transportation for the children to go to these coaching centres. Even to attend educational coaching classes is an ordeal.
When aspiration levels of parents are high to match their expectations in this competitive world, stress levels also increase. India is home to Diabetes, Hypertension, and obesity. Our fast-paced life looks at fast food as a simple alternative. On one hand we realize the importance of wellness, diet, and exercise but on the other, managing day to day life makes us ignore all these three important necessities to keep our body and mind active.
