Tyagi Engineering Works

We’ve been here at 1/3415 in Ram Nagar Extn for quite a while now. Most days start with pulling up the heavy metal shutters on Mandoli Road. Shahdara is always noisy, and our spot is no different with the traffic constantly moving outside. Inside Tyagi Engineering Works, it’s mostly just the sound of machines and the smell of cutting oil that stays in your clothes. We don’t have a fancy office or anything like that. Just a couple of desks that have seen better days and a lot of metal scraps in the corners. People find us easily enough because we’re right there in the extension. Some of the guys have been working here since the beginning, and we mostly just focus on getting the day's tasks finished so we can head home. It gets really hot in the afternoons, so we usually take a break for tea when the sun is at its worst. You won’t see any big signs or flashy lights here. It’s just a regular workshop where we handle whatever engineering jobs come through the door. Sometimes the machines act up and we have to spend half the morning fixing them instead of working, but that’s just how it goes in a place like this. We know the neighbors pretty well, and we all kind of look out for each other on this stretch of the road. It’s a simple life here in Shahdara.
