Aakaar Marbles

The workshop for Aakaar Marbles is located at G-1/88 in the Sukher Udyog Nagar area which is pretty much the heart of the stone business around here. It’s a noisy place because there is always some cutting or polishing going on nearby. We spend our days surrounded by slabs of marble and the white dust that seems to get on everything no matter how much we clean. It’s hard work and your hands get rough after a few years of moving these heavy pieces. We don’t have a fancy office or anything like that, just a small desk in the corner where we keep the ledgers and a few chairs for visitors. The sun hits the yard pretty hard in the summer so we try to get the heavy loading done early in the morning. Sometimes the machines break down and then we have to spend the whole afternoon fixing them instead of working on the stone. Our neighbors are all doing the same kind of work so there’s always someone to borrow a tool from if we’re in a pinch. It’s not the quietest job but there is something good about seeing a raw block of stone turn into something smooth. We usually wrap things up when the workers head home for dinner. It’s just a regular local business trying to keep up with the orders that come in from the city.
