Ajeet Metal Industries

It gets really loud here on Avenue Road when the machines are running, and you can hardly hear yourself think sometimes. We have been here for a good while, and the floor is covered in those tiny metal shavings that seem to get everywhere, even in your shoes. There isn’t much to look at in the office part of the building besides some old files and a few metal samples sitting on the desk. It’s mostly just hard work and the smell of grease and cold steel every single day. We spend a lot of time loading and unloading things near the entrance, which can be a bit of a hassle when the road gets busy with traffic. Baner Road is just around the corner, so there is always some movement going on outside. The lights in the workshop flicker a little bit if we have too many things plugged in at once, but we just get used to it. Most of the guys here wear heavy boots and have grease under their fingernails by the time lunchtime rolls around. We usually just eat our tiffin on the benches in the back. It’s a plain place, nothing like those shiny offices you see in the city center. We just keep our heads down and get the metal cut or shaped as needed. Sometimes the rain leaks through the roof a tiny bit near the back door, so we put a bucket there. It’s just how things are at this spot.
