Karnavati Timber Corporation

Our yard is right on N. H. No. 8, which means we see a lot of traffic passing by all the time. We are located near the Jaipur Golden Transport office on Galaxy Road. Karnavati Timber Corporation is basically a big open space filled with stacks of logs and cut lumber. When the wind blows, the smell of fresh wood and the dust from the saws gets everywhere. It’s a loud place because of the highway and the machinery we use to move the heavy timber. We spend most of the day outside or under the tin sheds. It gets very hot in the afternoons, but we have a small room where we keep the water jug and take breaks. We deal with a lot of truck drivers and contractors who are looking for specific types of wood for their projects. We don't really have a sales pitch or any fancy talk. We just show them the piles and let them pick what they need. The logs are heavy and moving them takes a lot of effort and careful planning so nobody gets hurt. It’s a rough kind of job, but we like being outdoors and working with our hands. Galaxy Road is always busy, and we are just another part of the landscape here. We pack it up when the sun sets and the highway lights come on, heading back after a long shift.
