What do you do?

What do you do- I used to get this question quite often when I was in India. After shifting to Oman, it did not surface much- because ..well, we will keep that for another day.

So back to the question : What do you do? Well, I do a lot of things... i wake early morning, get my ktichen running-breakfast ( which is a namesake, i admit), pack lunch for hubby, tiffin for daughter's school, tea for us, special breakfast for my toddler..and simultaneously get my elder one ready for school..

Well, that everyone does..what do you do for a living? Ok, about work, yes I freelance...

Freelance..what is that? Then I go about explaining what it is..nothing wrong so far... But the next...

So you sit in front of computer type something and then it is work..you are paid for it.

Now whatdo I say here?Believe me, i tried explaining many times that it is not so..you have to work the same way as you are in an office, attend meetings, meet deadlines, answer client's email,calls and what not..but it never goes well

So now..i just smile and nod my head and say ..Yeah. ! I smirk in my mind to theirs thinking 'must be data entry :-) '
