Paras Granites

We’ve been at 19-A in the Sipcot Industrial Area for a good long while now. It’s the kind of place where you always have dust on your boots and the sound of heavy machinery is just part of the background. Looking around, you’ll see stacks of granite slabs everywhere, some leaning against the walls and others sitting out in the yard. It isn't a fancy place with a lobby or air conditioning that works all the time. Mostly, it’s just us doing the work, moving heavy stone from one side of the lot to the other. The sun hits the metal roof pretty hard in the afternoon, making it a bit warm inside, but we get used to it. People stop by looking for specific pieces, and we usually have to move three or four other things just to get to the one they want to see. It’s a lot of physical labor and keeping track of what’s where. We drink a lot of tea and try to keep the paperwork from flying away when the fans are on. The gate at the front sometimes needs a good kick to open properly. It’s just a regular workspace where the focus is on the stone and making sure things get loaded onto the trucks correctly. There’s no big sign or anything too flashy, just the name on the wall and a lot of honest work happening every day from morning until the sun goes down. It's just a normal day for us here.
