Pioneer Delhi Bearing House

Getting up to the second floor of Arihant Complex at number 218 can be a bit of a climb if you are carrying something heavy. We are located there at Pioneer Delhi Bearing House on Station Road. Being near the station means there is a constant background noise of trains and whistles. It becomes a rhythm we work to throughout the day. The space is filled with bearings of all sizes. They are stacked in boxes that reach almost to the ceiling in some corners. We spend a lot of time checking labels and making sure the inventory matches what we have on our handwritten lists. The light in the office is a bit dim in the afternoons, but we have a couple of desk lamps to help see the smaller parts. It’s mostly just a few of us here. We eat our lunch together at a small table pushed against the back wall. The floor is concrete and shows the wear of many years. It is not the most modern place you will ever see, but it serves its purpose well. We know where everything is, even if it looks like a bit of a jumble to anyone else. Sometimes customers come in looking for something very specific for an old machine. We go through the rows of boxes until we find a match. It’s steady work for the three of us who keep the place running.
