Super Dyeing & Printing Works

Being right on Nh-24 means there is always dust and the sound of trucks. We are out here on the Delhi-Garh Road in Pilkhuwa. It’s a big space because dyeing needs room for the vats and the drying areas. The smell of the dyes is something you get used to after a while, though visitors usually notice it right away. We spend our days watching the weather because if it rains, the printing doesn't dry right. It's a lot of manual labor. We don't use fancy computers for everything; most of it is just hands-on work. My uncle started this place when there wasn't much else on this stretch of road. Now it’s busy all the time. We have stacks of cloth everywhere you look. Sometimes we lose a pen or a notebook in the piles, and it takes half an hour to find it. That’s just how it goes here. We aren't trying to be the biggest place around, just a steady one. The workers live nearby, and we all eat lunch together under the shade when it gets too hot. Pilkhuwa has changed a lot since we opened, but our routine stays about the same. We wake up, check the boilers, and start the first batch before the highway traffic gets too loud. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from dawn to dusk.
