Finally caved and took on a website redesign for a cousin’s friend’s startup last month. Spent three nights on mockups, only for payment to vanish into the ‘we’ll settle next cycle’ void. The lesson? A half-advance is non-negotiable, yaar, even with family links. What’s next? Using the mockups to fix my own portfolio site over a chai, and the quiet before dawn is mine again.

advance? For any design work, yaar, I ask for full payment upfront before even opening the laptop. Learned that after delivering two sacks of rice and getting a promise in return. Your mockups will look good with your morning chai—that quiet hour is a real blessing.
