Shree Hari Rang Udyog

If you look for us on Productivity Road in Ghatkopar East, you will see the sign for Shree Hari Rang Udyog at number 6. It is a place that deals with colors and dyes, so there is usually some kind of stain on the floor or the walls that won't ever come out. The air smells a bit like chemicals and wet paint most of the time, but we don't notice it much anymore since we are here all day. Most of the work involves mixing things and moving heavy barrels from one side of the room to the other. We have a few old wooden benches where we sit when there is a break, and the walls are covered in calendars from years ago that nobody bothered to take down. It is a very practical setup, with everything placed where it is easiest to reach rather than where it looks good. The neighborhood has changed a lot, with new buildings going up, but our little spot stays pretty much the same. We have a small sink in the back for washing up, and it usually takes a long time to get the color off our skin. Customers come in with samples of cloth or paper, and we spend time looking at them under the light near the front door to get things right. It is a slow process sometimes, but we just keep at it until the day is done and we can lock up.
