A week ago, my friend introduced me to a big shot Indian photographer. He asked the question that caught me off guard. The question that adults often ask each other over wines or beer. The question that would be the paradigm as to how you will be gauged and treated by the person who asked. It's the "What do you do?" question.
And my answer? I'm still unemployed. Brilliant.
It didn't even made sense. Do you have to be employed to be able to do something? I kinda hate it that "doing something" always includes employment and all the monetary value.
I should have said "I write."
Because I do. Because with or without an employer, I will write.
