Balaji Number House

My shop is called Balaji Number House and you can find it right on Makum Road. I spend most of my day making plates and signs for vehicles. It’s a small place but it serves the purpose. Makum Road can get pretty loud with all the trucks and cars passing by. I’ve been at this location for a while now. Most people just pull over when they see the sign. I handle the tools myself most of the time. It’s steady work. Making numbers sounds simple but you have to get the spacing right and make sure everything is straight. I don't use any fancy marketing. People just know I’m here. Some days I have a pile of work to get through and other days I’m just sitting by the door watching the traffic on Makum Road. The rain sometimes makes things difficult because the shop is small and I have to move things inside. It’s just a basic local shop. I don't have a big staff or anything. It’s just me and the materials. I see a lot of people from the neighborhood. Most of them are in a hurry to get their number plates done so they can get back on the road. I just do what needs doing and keep the shop open. It’s an honest way to make a living and the location is good for business. I enjoy the rhythm of the work and the people I meet every day.
