Ahuja Textile Mills

You can find Ahuja Textile Mills right over at Kashmir Nagar Chowk, just opposite the Gilson Gas station. It’s a busy intersection, so there is always a lot of noise from the scooters and trucks passing by. Our building is old and has that specific smell of fabric and thread. We have machines running most of the time, so there’s a constant hum in the background. It’s a family-run kind of place. We have stacks of fabric in every color you can think of piled up on long wooden tables. We don't have a fancy reception area. If you walk in, you’ll probably see someone measuring out cloth or packing up a roll for delivery. We’ve been here for a long time, and the building has seen better days, but it does the job. Sometimes the power goes out and everything goes quiet, which is a bit strange, but then the generator kicks in and we get back to it. We drink a lot of tea and talk to the workers about their families while we work. It’s a simple life. We aren't looking to become some giant factory; we just like making sure the textiles we produce are what the local shops need. The windows are usually dusty from the road outside, but the light that comes through is enough to see what we are doing. It’s just us, doing our thing across from the gas station every single day.
