V. P. Oswal Hosiery Factory

Down on Noorwala Road in Grewal Colony, that’s where V. P. Oswal Hosiery Factory is. We’ve been operating out of this area for years. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, but it’s a good spot for a factory. We have several machines for hosiery work and they make a lot of noise throughout the day. The air is always full of the smell of yarn and the sound of clicking needles. We aren't some massive company with a PR department. It’s just a group of us who know how to run these machines. We start early when it’s still cool outside. Grewal Colony is a quiet place mostly, except for the workshops like ours. We don't have any slogans or fancy goals. We just want to finish the work we have on our table. Some of the workers have been here since they were young men. We have tea together in the afternoons and talk about the weather or the news. It’s a simple way of life. The building is a bit old and could use some paint, but inside everything runs like it should. We focus on the product and the people who buy from us. We don't spend money on advertising because word of mouth usually does the job for us around Noorwala Road. We just keep the gates open and work.
