Reddy'S Stone Polishing Industries

Our place is over at 2-157 in Nandhipahad. It’s a rocky area, which makes sense for what we do. We spend the whole day polishing stones and getting them ready for builders. It’s messy work and the white dust gets everywhere, even if we try to wash it down every hour. We have several polishing machines running at the same time, so you have to speak up quite a bit if you want to be heard. The yard is usually full of slabs waiting to be worked on. Some are rough and some are almost finished. We’ve lived and worked in this area for years. The neighbors don't mind the noise much because everyone is doing something similar nearby. We don't have a fancy office, just a small room with a desk and some old ledgers to keep track of orders. Most of our time is spent outside or under the corrugated shed. We use a lot of water for the polishing process, so the ground is often damp and muddy. It’s hard on the hands, but we’re used to it by now. We take our breaks under the shade of the big tree near the gate. It’s not a complicated business. We get the stones, we polish them until they look right, and then we load them up on the trucks. Sometimes the machines break down and we have to fix them ourselves, which takes up a whole afternoon. It’s just the way it goes here.
