Shree Laxmi Engineering Company

Over here at No-C-1 in the Industrial Estate, things stay pretty loud. That is just the way it goes with engineering work. We are tucked in near Modhera Road, right by the Modhera Char Rasta, so there is always a lot of movement. Shree Laxmi Engineering Company has been in this particular shed for a long time. The walls have some grease on them and the floors are concrete because they have to be. We spend most of our hours looking at metal and machines. It is not a clean office job by any means. You get used to the smell of oil and the sound of tools hitting together. Sometimes the power acts up or a machine needs a bit of extra attention, but we just deal with it as it comes. Being in the industrial estate means we are surrounded by other people doing similar hard work. We wave to the guys next door when we are taking a quick tea break outside. The heat can get pretty bad in the afternoons, especially under the tin roofs, but we keep the fans going and stay on schedule. It is a straightforward operation. We don’t spend money on fancy signs or shiny lobbies. Most of our tools have been with us for years and they still work just fine. Living and working near the Char Rasta means you are always in the middle of the action, which keeps us on our toes every day.
