Prakash Auto Industries

The shop is in Block E-67 over in Jhandewalan Ffc. It is usually pretty greasy around here because of the auto work we do. Rani Jhansi Road is always packed with trucks and cars, so the noise never really stops. We have been in this spot for a long time. It is an industrial area, so nobody expects things to be clean or quiet. Most of our day is spent handling parts and talking to drivers who need something fixed or replaced. The floor is stained with oil and there are piles of metal pieces everywhere. It can get pretty hot in the summer with all the machines running. We just keep our heads down and do what needs doing. It is not a fancy industry, just Prakash Auto Industries, and we are just here to work. My brother and I usually handle the front while the boys work in the back. You get used to the smell of gasoline after a while. Sometimes people get lost looking for Rani Jhansi Road, but once you find the Ffc area, we are easy to spot. There is a lot of heavy lifting involved and my back usually hurts by five o'clock. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just this physical space where the work happens. It is a tough neighborhood but it is where we belong and how we make our living.
