B E M L

Out here at 24-6-31, Belavadi, things move at their own slow pace. B E M L is situated right in this spot. We have a gate and a yard where most of the work happens. It is mostly about machines and heavy iron parts. We spend a lot of time checking things and moving stuff around with the loaders. The sun hits the metal roofs pretty hard in the afternoon. We have a small crew and everyone knows exactly what they are supposed to do. It is not the kind of place with carpets or fancy desks. We use notebooks and chalk mostly to keep track of things. The address 24-6-31, Belavadi is easy enough to find if you know this area. We have seen the seasons change many times from this workshop. Sometimes the heavy rain makes the yard a bit muddy, but we keep going anyway. B E M L is just part of the landscape here. We are not big on meetings or long talks. We just get the tasks done. People walk by and wave to us. It is a practical life. We keep the equipment in good order. The floor is concrete and stays cool in the early morning. We have some old benches outside where we sit during our lunch break. It is a simple existence, working with our hands and making sure the machinery is handled correctly.
