Manjot Engineering Works

Manjot Engineering Works is located inside the Ghaziabad District Court Compound, over at Raj Nagar 685. It’s a pretty busy area because of all the legal stuff going on nearby, so there’s always a crowd of people walking past our door. The workshop itself is kind of small and packed with different machines and tools we've collected over the years. It’s definitely not a clean place; there’s oil on the floor and metal shavings everywhere, but that’s just part of the job. We spend most of our time welding, fixing parts, or trying to figure out why some piece of machinery isn't rotating like it should. Usually, it’s me and a couple of other guys who have been doing this forever. We don't really have a set routine, we just take whatever work comes in through the door. Sometimes a lawyer needs something fixed for his car, or a local person brings in a broken gate. We don't use any fancy computer systems to track things; we just write it down or remember it. The heat in the summer gets pretty bad because of the welding machines, so we take a lot of breaks for tea. We aren't trying to be some big corporation. It’s just a local shop where we use our hands to get things working again. It gets loud with the grinding and hammering, but the neighbors are used to us by now.
