Male version can be identified by the dress code they adhere to - full sleeves shirt with some kind of brown check pattern, light blue jeans-pants and oversized Nike shoes. Female version unfailingly found in badly-stitched salwar kameez (always with dupatta), with look of unmistakeable meekness and piousness.

Hard workers, and although otherwise smart, asking for perfectly reasonable 'overtime pay' is equivalent to blasphemy in their minds.

US based customers love them because they never complain everytime more work is dumped on them two hours before the deadline (unlike in some other countries, where the customer would be told to "go jump", or equivalent). Known to work their weekends to coronaries and nervous breakdowns without so much as an extra rupee to show for it. Sad but true.

Facts About Techies -

Dream Job : working in any role possible, most of the time for peanuts, but working in "the abroad"/US/UK/Australia. Peanuts become coconuts once they move back to India, thanks to exchange rates.

Place of Worship, to be visited at least three times for successful showing-off to other techies back home : the US

Mission/Vision/Motto of the true techie : I must never, ever get bad words from my firang customer, even if I'm dying in a road accident. " AAAAAAA!!!! that jeep drove over my leg!!! But. Must. Go. Office. Finish. Code!!!!!!!!" *Gawsp*

Greatest Fear : Never getting onsite role. (Which is equivalent to social suicide in the world of techies)

TIP : Don't offend any techie by letting on that you are more intelligent than him. Especially if you are a non-science graduate. He will never forget it. He will never forgive you.

You have just enjoyed and ended a rare ticket-less ride on a crowded bogey, safe so far, hiding in the train's toilets whenever a TTE arrived.
Unless you know the TC personally and he knows all professional ticket-less travelers by name, he can be a fun-killer. If you are caught, will hold you up at the gate and make you vomit the fare you stole and the big fine.

So, what you naturally do whenever you see him at his gate is-walk out of the station through one of the many holes in the station fencing. Or you walk across several pairs of tracks, the patris risking your dear life and taking in all the smells and sights of human refuse so unique to all rail patris. Without those attendant smells and sights, I suspect, the tracks would vanish into thin air, having been so accustomed to them ever since they were laid.

You are lucky, he is not at his post at the moment. He almost never is.
He gets bored if the platform is deserted; so goes for a free coffee at the tea stall.
He gets overwhelmed if there is a river of passengers flowing through his gate and goes for a free coffee once again.
You know, any given time, a platform is either almost deserted or it suddenly turns in to an ocean of people depending on arrivals.
He has no job whatsoever with departure-time humans.
