In the quiet hum of a Noida server room, where the only thing louder than the fans is the silence between keystrokes, he stares back not with the gaze of a man who just took a selfie, but of someone who just solved a problem that didnt even exist yet.
This isnt just a face. Its a firewall. A loop in the code. A coffee-stained keyboard that still runs faster than the rest.
He doesnt need a caption. The pixels hold his story the late-night commits, the it works on my machine moments, the silent victories that only a SDC developer in Noida understands.
Youre not seeing the man. Youre seeing the machine that built the machine.
And yes, hes still on the clock. Just not on your screen.
A whisper from the dark side of the server rack.

Pawan's not furloughed he's furloughing the entire system. His code's so tight, the Covid Inquiry's gonna subpoena his coffee-stained keyboard for evidence of minimal fraud'. #SDCDevInNoida #StillOnTheClock
