Ridhi Sidhi Construction Materials

Our place is in Matigara, right near the Mather Diary. It’s a good landmark because everyone in the Darjeeling district knows where it is. We have piles of sand, bricks, and other stuff sitting out in the open. The weather here can be tricky, especially when the clouds come down from the hills and it starts to drizzle. We spend most of the morning loading up trucks and checking the inventory. Our office is just a small cabin where we keep a few chairs and a table for the paperwork. It’s nothing special, just a place to get out of the sun for a bit. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who have been doing this for years. We know the local roads well and how long it takes to get to different parts of the town. There is no corporate polish here. We talk to people plainly and tell them what we have in stock. If we don't have something, we tell them where they might find it. We don't believe in making things complicated. Most days are just a cycle of orders and deliveries. We drink a lot of tea while waiting for the trucks to come back. It’s a honest living and we have been at it for a long time. It can get a bit muddy when the rain is heavy, but we keep the gates open anyway. There is always something that needs to be moved or sorted out.
