Is this Vidya? <BR/><BR/>No, I can't work in India per se unless someone hires me, and sends me out of the country to return then with a proper Work Visa. Hey, it could happen. Till then I am living month to month, sometimes week to week, as detailed in today's entry. It's not for everyone.Sirensongs: Indologist At Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101429745244414871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1138325522991315852006-01-26T19:32:00.000-06:002006-01-26T19:32:00.000-06:00I don't want to get into or cause an argument, or ...I don't want to get into or cause an argument, or be disrespectful, but I am curious. As an American are you able to find work there to support your travels. I'm only asking because if it is possible I have hope that one day I can somehow do the same thing! I totally envy what you are doing.<BR/>NamasteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1138291038860805192006-01-26T09:57:00.000-06:002006-01-26T09:57:00.000-06:00Maybe it would help to add that in western culture...Maybe it would help to add that in western culture, it is considered extremely rude to enquire about anyone's financial status. Even more rude than asking about their marriage and children, or how much their camera costs. I hope this explains a few things. <BR/><BR/>Also, if you want to correspond with me about anything serious please give me an email.Sirensongs: Indologist At Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101429745244414871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1138290608839122162006-01-26T09:50:00.000-06:002006-01-26T09:50:00.000-06:00Exactly, I tried to circumvent your overly persona...Exactly, I tried to circumvent your overly personal query by suggesting that people make donations (not exactly "asking to be paid") and you countered by persisting, "But really! How DO you make money?" <BR/><BR/>Yes, you are free to comment on my blog but not to expect answers to such personal questions. Asking personal questions is not the same as making comment. <BR/><BR/>Does that mean I can expect a donation from you?Sirensongs: Indologist At Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101429745244414871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232195.post-1138289351017993432006-01-26T09:29:00.000-06:002006-01-26T09:29:00.000-06:00You said u were so glad I asked and you ask reader...You said u were so glad I asked and you ask readers to pay you and now you accuse me of hassling.
