Jagjeet Dyeing & Printing Works

Jagjeet Dyeing & Printing Works is situated at Kanakiya Plot. It is a place where we do a lot of the heavy lifting. Dyeing and printing is messy work, so the shop reflects that. There are splashes of color here and there and plenty of water around the floors. We have been at Kanakiya Plot for a good while. It is a straightforward setup. We do not have a lot of office staff, mostly just people who know how to handle the fabrics. Every day is different depending on what colors we are running through the machines. Sometimes the smell of the dyes is quite strong, but you stop noticing it after the first hour. It is not a place for a suit and tie. We wear old clothes and get to work. The area is mostly other small workshops and plots. It can get a bit crowded when we have lots of material drying out in the air. We try to keep a schedule, but sometimes things take longer than expected. That is just the nature of the work. We do not do much talking about what we do, we just do it. People know where to find us if they need something printed or dyed. It is an honest way to earn a living. We just keep our heads down and finish the piles of cloth. The work is hard but it is what we know.
