Our workshop is at Shop No 4 and 5 in the Navle Complex, right in the Ravet area. We are located across from Balaji Law College on the Aundh BRT Road, near the Tathawade Chowk. It is a busy intersection, so we see a lot of traffic passing by all day long. The main thing you will notice in our shop is the glass. We have large sheets of it leaning against the walls, and you have to be very careful how you move around so you don't hit anything. We also work with a lot of aluminum sections for making window frames. The sound of the glass cutter is very sharp and it is something we hear constantly. We spend our days measuring frames and fitting the glass into place with great care. There is always a thin layer of fine dust on the floor from the aluminum being cut. We use a lot of rubber seals and silicone tubes that are scattered around the work tables in the back. The Navle Complex has other businesses too, so there is always someone coming or going near our door. We have a small area where we keep our tools like drills, saws, and measuring tapes. Sometimes the wind blows in from the main road and brings in some of the dust from the road construction nearby. We just keep our heads down and focus on the measurements because even a tiny mistake means the glass won't fit the frame right. It is a practical job that keeps us busy for most of the week.
