Bohra Marbles & Granites

Running a place like Bohra Marbles & Granites over here at No.17/4, Bannerghatta Road is quite an experience. The traffic out on the road is almost never quiet, so we are used to the constant sound of cars and buses zooming past while we work. Our shop isn't tucked away in some quiet corner; we are right in the middle of it all. We have different kinds of marble and granite stacked up everywhere you look. Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough room for everything, but we manage to fit it all in somehow. People stop by all the time because they are passing through this part of the city and see our slabs standing outside. We don’t have a big team of sales people in suits. Usually, it is just us in our regular clothes, ready to show you what we have in the back. The dust from the stone cutting is part of the job, and you just get used to it after a few weeks. We like being on Bannerghatta Road because everything is close by, even if the commute can be a headache some mornings. We spend our time checking the edges of the slabs and making sure the polish is okay. It’s not a complicated life, just selling stone and making sure the customers get what they actually saw in the yard. We stay open pretty late most days because that’s when people finish their own work and have time to look.
