Balwant Singh & Sons

My father started this place a long time ago and we’ve been at this spot in New Janta Nagar for as long as I can remember. If you’re looking for us, we’re just down the street from the petrol pump on Gill Road, number 3801/4. It gets pretty busy around here with all the trucks passing by. Inside the shop, things are a bit cluttered, but we know where everything is kept. Usually, it's just us and a couple of workers dealing with whatever repairs or parts people need that day. Sometimes the tea runs cold before we get a chance to drink it because someone walks in with a problem that needs fixing right then. We don't have a fancy office or a secretary answering the phones. It's mostly just grease on our hands and the sound of machines running in the background. People around Gill Road know us by name, which is nice. We grew up in this neighborhood and watched the buildings change over the years. The shop hasn't changed much though. It still smells like oil and old metal. We just show up every morning, open the shutters, and get to work. There’s no big secret to how we do things. We just try to get the jobs done so people can get back to their own work. It’s a simple life but it keeps us busy and the family together. We are just here doing our thing day in and day out.
