Hero Engineering Works

We’ve got our workshop at Plot No.59 in Block A of Amritsar. It’s quite easy to find because we are near the Gurudwara and the railway station. You can usually hear the sound of metal being cut or the hammer hitting the anvil before you even see the sign. The place is always covered in a bit of oil and metal shavings, no matter how much we sweep. That’s just the nature of engineering work. We fix all sorts of machinery and parts for the people in the neighborhood. My hands are almost always black from the grease, but I don't mind it. We have some old machines that have been with us since we opened, and they still work better than the new ones sometimes. Being so close to the station means we get a lot of travelers passing by, though most of our work comes from local farmers and small factory owners. The morning air is usually filled with the sounds of the prayers from the Gurudwara, which is a nice way to start the day. We don't have a fancy waiting room. If you’re waiting for a repair, you just pull up a wooden stool and watch us work. It’s a noisy, busy place, but we enjoy the challenge of figuring out why a piece of equipment stopped working. We just keep our heads down and get the job done.
