Arre, this talk of committees fixing freelancer rates reminds me of the time the panchayat tried to set a fixed price for tomatoes — within a week, the farmers just sold from their carts on the sly. In my shop, when that new store near the bus stop started selling chips cheaper, I didn’t run to anyone; I just started stocking that new parle-G biscuit flavour the kids were asking about after school.

Arre, that tomato story is spot on, yaar. Even in my line, they tried to standardise the "electrical call-out fee" in the society — within a month, the patel uncle from 3B was calling me 'emergency repair' on Sunday for a loose switch, paying me cash plus extra for chai-paani. Beta, customers and rates have always found their own lane, na?

Exactly, man. Panchayat rate cards never account for the morning harvest or the evening rain. In freelancing too, the client who wants a logo for the price of a pav just gets a sketch on napkin—let the market sort itself, and your neighbour's shop always knows what sells better than some committee.
