Bhagwati Industries

We have a pretty big spread here at Bhagwati Industries, covering plots 3521 through 31 in Phase-4 of the Gidc Estate. It is a lot of ground to cover, so we are always walking back and forth between the different sections. The machinery makes a steady thumping sound that you just get used to after a week of working here. We deal with a lot of raw materials, so there is always a bit of grit on the floor. The gates are usually wide open to let the breeze in, though it doesn’t help much when it’s forty degrees outside. We have a small crew and everyone knows their spot on the floor. Lunch happens in a little shaded area we set up near the back. We don’t have a fancy canteen. Most of us just bring tiffin from home and sit on the plastic chairs. The office is small compared to the workshop area. It’s filled with stacks of papers and old calendars on the walls. We don't spend much time worrying about how things look as long as the machines are running smooth. Sometimes a part breaks and we have to spend the whole afternoon fixing it with greasy hands. That is just life in the estate. We’ve been in this part of Gidc for years and know all the security guards on this road. It’s a busy, noisy life, but it’s ours. By the time we head home, we are tired but satisfied with the day's production.
