Bherav Steel

Bherav Steel is right on Station Road in the main market area. It is a noisy place because of all the metal moving around. We have pipes, rods, and sheets of steel stacked up everywhere. You have to be careful where you walk so you don't trip over anything. I spend my day measuring things out and helping people load their trucks or carts. The sound of metal hitting metal is something you just get used to after a week of working here. I wear heavy gloves because the edges can be sharp. My hands are usually stained with grease or rust. The shop is more like a warehouse with a small counter near the entrance. I have a notebook where I scribble down the weights and the prices. It is a very busy street, so there is always a lot of traffic and horns honking outside. Sometimes it is hard to hear what the customers are saying. We don't have any decorations. The walls are just plain brick. We focus on getting the orders right and helping the builders who come in. It is hard work, especially when it is hot and the metal gets warm to the touch. But it is a good life and the market is a lively place to be every day. I usually lock up around seven when the traffic starts to thin out.
