Shree Krishna Steel

The yard at New Aghapura is always a bit of a chaotic place. We’ve got steel bars, sheets, and rods stacked everywhere. It’s right near the old Syndicate Bank at 14-1-446, so it's easy to find but hard to navigate once you're inside. The noise of metal clanging together is something you just get used to after a week of working here. We spend our days loading trucks and checking the inventory lists. Gosha Mahal gets very crowded with traffic, so we try to get our deliveries out early before the streets get blocked up. My hands are usually stained with rust or oil by noon. We aren't doing any high-tech engineering here. We just supply the raw material that other people use to build bridges or gates or house frames. Sometimes the price of steel goes up so fast it makes your head spin, and we have to explain that to customers who aren't happy about it. It’s honest work, though. We have a small desk in the corner where we keep the ledger and a phone that never stops ringing. The staff has been with us for a long time, so we know how to move the heavy stuff without getting in each other's way. It’s not a pretty job, and the warehouse is always hot, but the steel business is what we know best. We often drink tea together in the afternoon just to take a break from the noise. It's a rough business but someone has to do it.
