Satguru Mackneel Works

Our workshop is out in Bawana, Sector 2, right at Shop No 97 in B Block. If you know the industrial area, you know it’s a lot of grey buildings and the sound of machines running from morning until late evening. We do mechanical work here, so there is always oil on the floor and grease on everyone’s hands. It’s not the kind of place where you’d wear a clean shirt and expect it to stay that way. We have the lathes and the heavy tools set up along the walls. Sometimes it gets really loud when all the machines are going at once, and you have to shout to be heard. We mostly focus on getting the jobs done that come in from other factories nearby. The tea guy comes around twice a day, which is usually when we take a five-minute break to sit on the plastic stools outside. The shop isn't very big, but we’ve crammed a lot of equipment into it over the years. We keep the spare parts in wooden crates stacked in the back. It’s a simple setup, really. No big signs or flashing lights, just the shutter that we roll up every morning at nine. We’ve been in this sector for a while, so we know most of the neighbors and the guys running the other units. It gets hot in the summer under the tin roof, but we keep the fans going.
