More of Moo's Third World


Indian Domestic Services - a trilogy of shame
1. The Dishonest House Maid - Acrylic on Canvas 90cm x 120cm

Being an expat in Bangalore, you usually hire some help around the house. More often than not there's a multitude of trivial reasons to fire them and 'get someone else'. Here, the housemaid is caught in that decisive moment, crossing the line and lifting a dollar she 'found' while sweeping.



2. The Rat Catcher - Acrylic on Canvas 90cm x 120cm

Rats live in every city on Earth. Bangalore included. This guy was called in by building management to kill the rat in apartment 408. It took 3 days, and he charged for 3 days.

3. The Toilet Plumber - Acrylic on Canvas 90cm x 120cm

Another guy sent from building management in Bangalore. No big story here, just a leaking, turd-blocked toilet to fix. Again. He carries the omni-present, rusty F wrench. It's only purpose, to identify him as The Toilet Plumber.
