Sri Ganapathy Engineering Works

Over at No. 571 Ramamurthy Street in Lakshmi Nagar, you will find Sri Ganapathy Engineering Works. It is tucked away in Moondramkattali, which is a bit of a quiet area compared to the main city roads. The workshop has been sitting there for a while, and the walls are mostly covered in soot from the welding and the machines running all day long. It isn't the kind of place where you wear a suit. Most of the guys here are in old shirts covered in iron filings and oil stains. We spend a lot of time looking at metal parts and trying to get the measurements right on the lathe. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit outside on the stools for a bit until it comes back on. The neighbors know us by the sound of the grinding wheels that starts up early in the morning. We do not have a big sign or anything flashy, just the name on the front and a lot of heavy scrap metal piled up in the corner of the yard. It gets pretty dusty inside when the wind blows through the open doors, but that is just part of the job. People bring in all sorts of broken tools and engine bits for us to look at, and we just do what we can with the tools we have on the floor.
