Rajeev Marbles

My name is Rajeev and I’ve been running this marble place at No. 231 Vidyadhar Nagar for quite some time now. It’s a busy spot. People come by looking at the slabs we have stacked up in the yard. Most days it’s just me and a couple of guys moving things around. Marble is heavy and it gets dusty, but that’s the job. We keep different types of stones here, mostly what people usually ask for when they are building their houses nearby. The yard isn't fancy. It's just a space where the trucks can pull in and out without too much trouble. Sometimes the rain makes it a bit messy, but we manage. I spend a lot of time on the phone talking to suppliers or checking if a load has arrived. It's not a complicated setup. If someone needs a few pieces or enough for a whole floor, they just walk in and we show them what's on the racks. Vidyadhar Nagar has changed a lot since we started, more houses and shops everywhere now. We try to keep the stock moving so nothing sits too long. It’s a lot of lifting and measuring. Sometimes a piece has a crack we didn't see at first, so we have to set it aside. That’s just how it goes with natural stone. We’re here most mornings until late evening, just doing the work and making sure things get loaded onto the tempos correctly for the customers.
