Saritha Scientific Glass Works

Saritha Scientific Glass Works is located at No. 5 Mosque Street in Easwaran Nagar, Pammal. It is a small shop tucked away on a street that is mostly residential. We do scientific glass blowing here. It is a skill that takes a lot of time to learn. My family has been doing this for a while, and we just keep it going. Pammal is a nice area to work in. Being near the mosque makes it easy for people to find our little workshop. We make things for laboratories and hospitals. This kind of glass is very thin and breaks easily if you are not careful. We have shelves filled with all sorts of tubes and custom pieces. It is not a factory. It is just a few of us working with torches and glass rods. The room gets very warm when the fires are going. Sometimes we have to step out onto Mosque Street just to get some fresh air. We are not interested in being a huge corporation. We just like the craft of it. Customers call us when they need something very specific that they can't buy in a regular store. We look at their drawings and try to make it exactly right. It involves a lot of patience. Easwaran Nagar is our home, and we’ve been at No. 5 for many years now. We just do our work and hope the glass doesn't break.
