Deep Cleaning Service by Broomberg

Recently, I suggested benefits of deep cleaning of the house done to family members who gave me a skeptical response we give when we are not aware of something. Then came the offer from Broomerberg, whether I would like to get my house deep cleaned and I said yes. 

Booking

I had a word with the team over the phone itself. Somehow I am not into those App booking things. Calling someone and discussing things before booking gives me better comfort and confidence. I liked the way these guys talked. I got a call to confirm address, then an SMS to confirm the booking and address. A day prior to the booking, someone from Broomberg called me to advise that the team will reach on time in the morning and that I should expect them to work for around eight hours straight. I confirmed the address and time again to apprise my family members of a crew coming to clean the house.


Punctuality and Timing

I must say, one has to commend the crew of Broomberg for their respect of time. They had given 10.30 a.m. as the time of their arrival and they were exactly on time. They said they would need eight hours approx to clean the house and by 6, 6.30 they were done.


Discipline & Professional

The four guys who came to our house were well disciplined and very professional. They knew what they were doing and wasted no time to get things done. They went about their work in a professional no nonsense way which is a huge relief amidst the chaos of moving things around for cleaning.


The Goods

A major plus. They get everything they need from their own place. Ladders, vacuum cleaners, mops and even buckets are packed into a van and brought by them. This made things so easy for us as they had everything they required to make the place spotless. They even got an array of cleaning agents and liquids to give that extra spark and shine to appliances, floors, and electrical.


Divison of Labor

As the guys set to work, it was clear that they had a methodology in mind and a set process to follow. Each one picked up one room each and began his work as per set priority. 






Kitchen Cleaning

Kitchen is one area where I was concerned the most. This is the area in our homes which has the highest potential for cleaning because of grime dust and continuous activity. The team not only cleaned the kitchen cabinets but also the counter tops. All the appliances in the kitchen from the oven to refrigerator were scrubbed and cleaned using cleaning agents the team had brought with them. The results as I mentioned before were good and quite visible. 





Bathroom Cleaning

One of the cleaning crew members, straightaway started with the bathroom, realizing that this place needs due attention. The guy used disinfectants and solutions to scrub the floors and tiles. I liked the fact they took care of smallest details like cleaning a switch, which other wise might have gone unnoticed. 



Vacuum Cleaning

Try as much as you may but proper dry cleaning might not happen by self. One of our rooms has a carpeted floor and it was to be cleaned thoroughly. The crew got their own vacuum cleaner and worked it not only the carpet but also on the sofas.


The Feedback

It was a good gesture on the part of Ankit from Broomberg to give a courtesy call the next day. He called in to inquire about feedback on the team. Thumbs up from my side for the team at Broomberg and would recommend periodic deep cleaning to everyone.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Politics - A Profession

This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While having a LinkedIn profile is not a certificate of a person character, one has to appreciate the intent. Reach out to masses, and more importantly, take politics as a profession. Successful leader...

What does it take to be a leader?7 ways leadership from stillness empowers sensitive people

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? 7 Powerful Ways Leadership from Stillness Empowers Sensitive People This piece reframes WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? as calm presence rather than theatre. I argue sensitive, trauma-affected youth can lead through stillness—anchoring ritual, mindful presence, energetic boundaries and trauma-informed compassion. Expect research, practical space and voice tips, personal stories for spiritually aligned mentorship and guidance now. Do you fear leading because it might expose your softness? If the answer is yes, you’re exactly who I’m writing for. First published- 03/07/2009 13:53 Leadership from Stillness:  Gentle Leadership for Sensitive Youth I start with that heavy question — WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? — because I want us to stop measuring leadership by volume. In my work with young people who feel everything, the loudest voices are rarely the most useful. Leadership from stillness is a different grammar: it’s ...
