Shyam Stone Industries

We are out here at Plot No-S 268 on Road Number 5. It's usually pretty loud because of all the trucks moving through the Indraprastha Industrial Area. Shyam Stone Industries has been sitting on this lot for some time now. Most days just involve moving heavy stone slabs around or checking the inventory we have stacked up in the back. It gets quite dusty here, especially when the wind picks up off the road. We spend a lot of time just organizing the yard so people can actually see what’s available without tripping over things. It isn't a fancy place. We have a small office where we sit and talk to anyone who stops by, usually over a cup of tea if the kettle is working. The stone business is mostly about lifting things and making sure the slabs don't crack while they're sitting out in the sun. It's hard work and our clothes usually have a layer of white dust by the end of the shift. People come in looking for specific types of stone for their houses or projects and we just show them what’s currently in the piles. Sometimes the delivery trucks are late because of traffic on the main road, which throws everything off. We just try to get the loads moved and keep things tidy. It’s just us doing the daily grind in this part of town, dealing with the heat and the heavy blocks of rock.
