System Administrator

I am the System Administrator over here in Rajajinagar. Our office is at A/22 on the 6th Cross in the 6th Block. It is a typical Bangalore street, narrow enough that parking is always a bit of a headache. I spend most of my time surrounded by servers and tangled cables that I keep promising to organize better. The building has been here for years, and you can tell by the way the stairs creak. It is not a high-tech hub like you see in the movies. It is just a room with a lot of humming machines and a couple of fans to keep the air moving. Rajajinagar is a good area, very traditional in some ways but getting busier every month. I usually get my lunch from the small mess down the road because it's cheap and tastes like home cooking. There isn't a team of hundreds here. It is just a few of us making sure the network doesn't crash when everyone is trying to work at the same time. Sometimes the power goes out and I have to go check on the backup batteries in the dark. It is a bit of a messy job, but someone has to do it. We don't have any fancy titles or perks. We just keep the lights on and the data moving as best as we can. It keeps us busy enough throughout the week.
