Rajbir Mechanical Works

Rajbir Mechanical Works sits right on the Industrial Area Phase Ix Main Road. If you come by, you will hear the noise long before you see the sign. There is always the sound of metal hitting metal or the hum of a big machine running in the back. The air smells like grease and burnt iron, which is something you get used to after the first week. We spend most of our time with our sleeves rolled up and our hands covered in black oil. It is not a clean job, but things need to be fixed, and we are the ones who do it. The shop floor is old and has stains from years of work. We have all sorts of tools hanging on the walls, some of them so old they were probably used by our fathers. We don't really do much talking unless it’s about a part that isn't fitting right. When a truck pulls up with a broken engine, we just get to work. There is no point in making things sound more complicated than they are. Machines break, and you have to have the patience to figure out why. Sometimes we have to stay late because a job just can't wait until tomorrow. We don't have a fancy waiting room for customers, just a wooden bench where you can sit if you don't mind a bit of dust.
