G.R. Engineering Co.

If you know Sakinaka, you know how busy it gets. We are right here at Shop No. 1 in R.M. House. It’s tucked away near Jama Masjid Lane off Kherani Road. The traffic outside is almost never-ending, especially with the rickshaws and delivery trucks squeezing through. G.R. Engineering Co. has been in this little corner for a long time. It’s a tight space, but we make it work. Most days are spent dealing with whatever engineering job comes through the door. You can hear the sounds of the street mixing with the noise of our tools. It’s not a quiet place to work, but we are used to it by now. The tea guy comes by twice a day, and that’s usually when we take a second to breathe. Being near the mosque means we hear the calls to prayer, which sort of marks the time for us throughout the day. It’s a very local feel here. Everyone knows everyone on this stretch of Kherani Road. We don't have a big shiny showroom. It's just the shop floor and a small desk for the accounts. People drop in, ask for things, and we see what can be done. It's dusty and crowded, but it’s where we do our best work. Sometimes the monsoon makes it hard with the water on the road, but we stay open regardless of the weather.
