Labtechnicion

My name is M. Bhaskar, and I work as a lab technician here in Damera, which is in the Elakathurthi area of Karimnagar. This is my home, and I’ve been working in this field for quite some time now. The lab isn't very large. It’s a simple room with the necessary tools for the job. I spend a lot of my time looking at samples and writing down numbers in my ledger. It can be a bit repetitive, but it’s the kind of work that needs a lot of focus. The village is small, so everyone knows everyone else. I don't have a secretary or anyone to answer the phone, so if I’m busy with a test, people just have to wait a minute. The summers here in the region are incredibly hot, so the fan is always clicking away in the corner. Sometimes the supplies from the city take a few days to arrive, so I have to plan everything out carefully. I don't use a lot of fancy technology for my records; I still prefer using my notebooks because they don't crash or lose data. I don't try to be anything I’m not. I’m just a technician doing my job for the local people. It’s a quiet life, but I find it satisfying to finish a day’s work and know everything was done correctly. There’s no big story to tell, just the daily grind of the lab and making sure things are right.
