Geetam Engineering Works

Geetam Engineering Works is easy to find if you know where the Punjab National Bank is in Gawana. We are just in Gali No. 3, right off the Main Road. It’s a small workshop but we pack a lot into it. We’ve got our lathes and welding gear all set up in there. It gets pretty loud once we start the machines up in the morning. Being at Post Gawana is home for us. We know most of the people who walk by every day. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait around, which is frustrating, but we make do. We do a lot of repairs and custom bits for people in the village and the surrounding areas. We aren't some big corporate factory. It’s just a few of us making things work. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings and we spend a lot of time sweeping up at the end of the shift. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just come to the door in Gali No. 3 when they need something fixed. We’ve been here for years and the shop hasn't changed much. It’s a bit cramped but we know where every tool is kept. Even when it rains and the Gali gets muddy, we are still inside working. We have a small radio that plays in the background while we weld. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s ours.
