P S Carbide Engineering Works

We’ve been here at 370 7 Industrial Area A for quite some time now. Jawahar Chowk is usually busy in the mornings when everyone starts their machines. P S Carbide Engineering Works is basically just us working with metal every day. It gets loud in here, especially when the big grinders are running, but that's how it is in this part of town. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour and we just sit outside on the stools. We handle a lot of carbide tools and parts that people bring in from other shops. It’s not a fancy place at all. The floor has oil stains that haven’t come out in years. My desk is covered in papers and small metal shavings that I can never quite sweep all away. We just focus on the drawings people give us. If a job is hard, it takes longer, that’s just the truth of it. People know where to find us because of the big blue door that sticks a bit in the summer. We don’t have a big office or anything, just the workshop and a small fan that barely works when it’s hot. It's practical work. We stay until the light starts to fade or until the last order is ready for pickup. It's a living and we’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the machines and the tea guy who comes by at four in the afternoon every day.
