Bhandari Goods Transport Corporation

You can find Bhandari Goods Transport Corporation down in Dana Bunder. We are on the first floor of Veena Chambers, which is a building that has seen a lot of history. This area is always moving. There are trucks everywhere and people hauling sacks of goods at all hours. It is noisy and dusty, but that is just how the transport business is in this part of Mumbai. Our office is number 105. It is a bit of a climb up the stairs, and the hallway is usually crowded with people waiting for deliveries or checking on their shipments. We have been here for a long time. The walls are covered in old calendars and clipboards. We don’t have fancy air conditioning that works all the time, just a few ceiling fans that keep the air moving. It is a practical space for practical work. We spend our time talking to drivers and making sure the logs are kept straight. It’s not a glamorous job, but it is necessary. Being in Dana Bunder means we are right in the middle of the action. You hear the horns honking outside all day long. Sometimes it takes forever to get a truck through the narrow lanes. We just deal with it as it comes. Everyone knows everyone else in this building. We share news about the roads and the weather. It is a tight-knit community of workers just trying to get the job done.
