It is usually pretty loud around here in Mayapuri Industrial Area Phase II. We are located at F-142, just a regular spot tucked among all these other factories and workshops. Every morning I come in and open the heavy shutters, and the first thing I do is check if the machines are acting up again. It gets incredibly hot in the summer months, so we keep the industrial fans going full blast, but even then, it is a lot of sweating and hard work. I have probably spent more time in this workshop over the years than I have at my own house. My hands are almost always stained with something, usually oil or that fine metal dust that never really washes off completely. People stop by asking for specific parts to be made or things fixed, and we just get on with the job. There is not much to say about the building itself, it is just a big work floor with a lot of equipment piled up in the corners. The tea stall guy down the road knows exactly when we need our break, which is usually the best part of my afternoon. We have seen the neighborhood change and some of the old neighbors move out, but Manik Industries stays right here at F-142. Sometimes the electricity cuts out and we just sit outside on the plastic stools until it kicks back in. It is not a fancy life, but it is what we know. The concrete floor has cracks from years of heavy work.
