My Micro-Grid Empire: Starting from the Slums

Arjun Verma was a Level 1 Wireman. Then he died. In the chaotic, rusty underbelly of India’s infrastructure, "Jugaad" (improvisation) is King and Safety is a joke. Arjun was just another invisible laborer following orders—until a 440-Volt shock stopped his heart. He didn't wake up in heaven. He woke up with a Blue Interface floating in his vision. [SYSTEM INITIALIZED: THE ENGINEER] [OBJECTIVE: REWIRE THE NATION] Now, Arjun sees the world differently. Where others see a flickering light, he sees a Harmonic Distortion. Where others see a leaking pipe, he sees a fluid dynamics equation. Where others see a corrupt builder, he sees a Financial Liability. Armed with the [Electric Eye], [Blueprint Creation], and the absolute authority of "The Code" (Engineering Standards), Arjun declares war on the incompetence that plagues the system. But he cannot build a nation alone. He recruits a party of misfits: * Zoya Khan (The Auditor): A lawyer who weaponizes the Electricity Act and Tax Code to bankrupt corrupt contractors. * Bhairav Singh (The Titan): A heavy mechanic who solves problems that physics cannot—usually with a 36-inch wrench. Together, they form "Bharat Nirman" (India Construction). From fixing a tripped breaker in a luxury high-rise to fighting the Water Tanker Mafia in the slums; from converting sewage into Biogas Gold to turning a dying river into a Smart Grid—Arjun is climbing the ladder. His enemies? The Land Mafia, the Inverter Lobby, corrupt bureaucrats, and the Old Grid itself. They have money, muscle, and politics. Arjun has the System. And in this game, Physics always wins. Current Arc Status: * Book 1: The Current (Completed) - Origin & Team Building. * Book 2: The Grid (Completed) - Water Mafia & Smart Sensors. * Book 3: The Waste (Completed) - Sewage-to-Energy & High-Rise Retrofit. * Book 4: The Slum (In Progress) - Decentralized Solar & The War against Monopolies.
