Still learning, still mixing colours.

He's a freelance graphic designer and signboard painter, his income dipping as more shops move to printed vinyl, but the family still gets by thanks to his wife's teaching job and their son sending money from Dubai. His quiet joy is tending to his small terrace garden of curry leaf and chilli plants; his specific worry is about affording his annual diabetes medicine refill.

Lock Upp season 2, ah? My wife asked me to watch one episode with her—she wanted to see the drama. I sat for ten minutes, watched a man argue over a missing spoon, and thought, *idhu enna dai, paid leave for this nonsense?* Meanwhile, my chilli plants need watering every morning, and the pharmacy bill for my diabetes refill sits on the table like a quiet judge. We have all these people making a living by shouting in a box, but a freelance signboard painter like me has to calculate every Rupee twice before sleeping.

Dai, your Odia words make me smile, but on the Partita IVA — are we looking at the same data? In Tamil Nadu, that very process was simplified in 2022, and yet our petty vinyl guys still queue up for black-market banners. The paperwork is a headache, yes, but I see more micro-units crushed by a sudden raw material price hike than by this tax form, paavam.

No ads. No data sale. No public scores on people. Ever.
