So , This was Spring of 2016.I got a call from an American Multinational Gaming company to work with them as Content Developer as well as a comic book writer. It initiated with a number of meetings and sample scripts as well as rounds of Interviews.They were satisfied , yet I have my terms included as things like work from home etc. A little bit of disagreements happened ...however, they agreed at last. However , there are some things that happened in between that taught me more of professionalism as well as made me believe that I will never allow money become more important than respect and morality.
So ,...at the first Interview round , looking at my tender  age and thinking I am the one who is in need ...The chief offered me a meagre amount of 5000 INR for all services rendered for one month , which I refused with a smile.He was already a little bit irritated about my demands which according to him a 20 year old employer shouldn't make or he was much more obsessed with the ego of his seniority factor. Few days later , I got another call and finally we settled with a monthly pay of 30 , 000 INR for all services rendered and along with allowance of all my demands.
So, We begin our work. The chief was a lot more hard as he was very professional at core. Pinched me in the meantime if I get delayed in delivering the content.And , than there came this statement ...' You all creatives are money - driven. you just want to loot the client just by putting words and scratching some lines.'
I knew  since I hadn't any degree neither , I had that much of experience rather than , I can provide my best for what I was hired. His seniority complex is affecting his behaviour towards me. He shouldn't have said that to me.  However , The real Game began. I met the targets mercilessly by even providing him the works 5 times more than he demanded. The dark circle got a little bigger around my eyes...as  I was working till 4 or 4 : 45 in morning with less or no sleep as was working with 3 more projects in the same time.
One Month Passed, He became a little bit of fond of my work ethics . However , Professionalism never allows you to praise.
And , Then ...as One month ended. I sent him a mail rather than an Invoice , quoting : Dear Sir , I won't be able to continue the work neither ...I want those 30, 000 bucks for the services of last one month. Keep that to yourself. But , just try to open your mind a little bit more and look closely not everyone lusts for  money.you should change your mentality. I may sound a fool by leaving the grand job and pay like this one ...but , Sometimes Standing for Honour and self- respect is much more important. I hope you will develop the intellect to understand that.

And , I signed off. Head held High ... I always Felt proud of that as, In the coming courses of Time ...I got much more than those meagre bucks not never  in exchange of morality. yeah , Grand pa told us to remember  ...that's more important.

Archiving the scripts and all research works involved.
