archetypal thugs

The modern day Indian witch has an incredibly heavy financial burden to bear. She has on her payroll a dhobhi who tells her whose saris he washes, a pandit for ceremonies she invites neighbors to, another whose palm she greases so he reads hers, a murshad, a tantrik, a maid for her, two for him, a lackey to run errands, a dalaal, some goondas, and fifteen other people around town who tell her what's going on in her sisters', sisters-in-laws', arch enemies' lives, and a hacker or two. Is it any wonder she has to beat up her husband every now and again to have him dig deeper into his pockets 'coz she can't run her household of two in the many thousands he gives her.
