Faiz Buffing Works

Faiz Buffing Works is tucked away at 21/3 Kalasipalyam, right behind Shivaji Talkies. It is an old part of town and it feels that way too. We spend most of our time polishing and buffing various items to give them a smooth finish. It is dusty work and we usually end the day with black marks on our clothes and faces. Being behind the cinema means we hear the sounds of the movies and the crowds sometimes. The space is small and every inch is used for something, whether it is a machine or a stack of items waiting to be worked on. We have been here for a long time and the shop has its own character. It isn’t fancy at all. We have some old benches and tools that have served us well over the years. We don't really do any promotion or advertising. People in Kalasipalyam just know where we are if they need something buffed up. We have a routine that we follow and it works for us. We drink our chai from the stall nearby and get back to the grinders. It is a simple life of manual labor and we take some pride in seeing a dull piece of metal start to shine. It is just what we do here behind the old theatre. It gets hot in the summer but we just keep the fans going and get through the pile.
