With surprise, he started thinking….the eight
pieces of Pizza appeared in front of his
eyes and each one of them acted as a
hammer started pricking his consciousness.
For the price of one Pizza , he started
comparing the expenses his maid had
incurred during her visit to her daughter.
The eight pieces of Pizza floated in front of
his eyes. Each one of them started hitting
his conscience.

He started comparing the expense incurred
in buying one pizza for himself with the
expenses incurred by his maid in the festival
she celebrated. First piece .. dress for the
child, second piece… towards sweets..
Third piece… towards offering to the deity in
the temple. Fourth piece….towards bus fare.
Fifth piece.. towards doll. Sixth piece
towards bangles, seventh piece ,, towards
belt for the son-in-law. Eight piece towards
copy and pencil.

So far he had observed pizza only from one
angle. He turned it upside down and
observe how it looks like from the other
side. .. but today his maid showed him the
other side of the pizza….
