Ashok Joshi

I am Ashok Joshi and I work out of Mahal Colony, number 575, near the Ghanta Ghar in Makrana. Makrana is a busy place, especially with all the stone work going on around here. My place isn't anything special to look at. It’s just a ground-floor room that I’ve turned into an office and storage space. I’ve lived in this colony for years, so I know just about everyone who walks past the door. The Ghanta Ghar is a good landmark, so people don’t usually get lost looking for me. Inside, it’s mostly just stacks of papers and some samples sitting on the floor. I spend a lot of my time on the phone or just writing things down in my ledger. It gets quite dusty because of the local industry, so I have to wipe down the desk every single morning. I don’t have any employees, just me. Sometimes a cousin comes by to help if I have something heavy to move. I usually keep the door half-closed to keep the dust out, but people know to just knock. It’s a quiet way to work, even with the town being so busy. I don’t bother with marketing or trying to sound like a big corporation. I’m just a guy with a business in a small town. I do my work, keep my records, and that’s about it.
