Gayatri Engineering Works

The workshop is located in Sarang Galli, which is very close to the railway station. You can hear the announcements from the platforms and the sound of the trains passing by all day. It is a bit of a cramped area, like most of the lanes around here. We have a lot of iron scraps and metal pieces lying around the floor. The smell of oil and burnt metal is pretty strong once we start the machines. It is not the kind of place where you want to wear nice clothes because you will definitely get some grease on them. We do a lot of small repairs and custom metal work for people in the neighborhood. The lighting inside isn't the best, so we use some bright lamps over the workbenches. Most of the tools are old but they are sturdy and we know exactly how they handle. When the station gets crowded, the lane outside gets blocked with people and rickshaws, making it hard to move anything out. We usually take a break in the afternoon when it gets too hot to work near the welding sparks. It is a small team here, just a few of us who have been doing this for years. We don't have a fancy office, just a small corner with a table and a ledger where we keep track of the jobs.
