"I'm constantly shifting between sites, cities even, never really settling anywhere long enough to call it home. It keeps things exciting but tough, like my diet; some days it's coffee and sandwiches on the run, other days I get lucky with something homemade from a local spot. Last week, it was this killer biryani from a little place just down the street from the site in Hyderabad—packed with flavor, just spicy enough to kick the tired right out of you. And the people, man, it's always about the people. Like Marta, the crane operator, has stories that can fill your day. We share bits about our lives between shifts, keeps the morale up. Goals? I'm saving up, hoping to get certified for higher pay roles, maybe even run my own crew someday. Until then, it's me and my toolbox against the world, finding comfort in small wins and good food. Speaking of which, if you ever find yourself in my corner of the world, you've got to try the street tacos on Second. Best carnitas you’ll ever have, hands down. It’s those little things, you know, that keep you going. Simple, real, and hearty—much like life itself."
