Heda Fibres

If you take a trip down Feeder Road in Belgharia, you will find Heda Fibres at number 26-A. It is a bit out of the way compared to the main market, but that gives us the space we need for the raw materials. We deal with all sorts of fibres, so the air inside usually has a bit of a haze to it from all the lint. We keep the big doors open most of the day to let the breeze in. It is a noisy place when the machinery is going, and we usually have to shout a bit to be heard over the hum. I started working here when I was much younger, and the place hasn’t changed much since then. We have some heavy scales for weighing the bales and a small desk in the corner where the bills are kept. It is not the kind of place where you would wear your best clothes because they would get dirty in five minutes. We do not have a big sign out front, just the address and the name painted on the wall. Most of our work is about checking the quality of what comes in and making sure it gets sent out to the right people. It is a simple life and the work is physical, but we like the routine of it. We just keep doing what we know best here in Belgharia.
