Paras Marbles

Down here on Hapur Main Road, things are always a bit gray with stone dust. That’s just part of life at Paras Marbles. We have big slabs of stone leaning against the walls and stacked in the yard. It is heavy work, and you have to be careful where you step. Most mornings start with the sound of the crane or someone moving a palette. We spend a lot of time showing people the different patterns in the marble, even though they all start looking the same after a long shift. The road outside is busy, so there’s always a background noise of trucks and horns. We keep a small office in the front where we sit when it’s not too busy, but usually, we are out back checking the stock. The rain makes the yard a bit of a mess, but the stone looks nice when it's wet. We don’t have any polished speeches or big sales pitches. We just show what we have in the warehouse and let people decide for themselves. It takes a lot of muscle to move these things around, and our boots are always worn out from the hard floor. We've been on this road for quite some time now, watching the traffic go by while we sort through the latest shipment of granite and marble. It’s honest, hard work that keeps us busy from sunrise until we lock the gate at night. We just try to keep the slabs moving and the yard somewhat orderly so people can walk around.
