Vinayak Marble Art & Handicrafts

Down here at 21, Shastri Nagar in Hiran Magri, things are usually moving along pretty fast. We’re in Section Number 3, and Vinayak Marble Art & Handicrafts is our little corner of the world. We work with marble, but more on the artistic and handmade side of things. There are always small pieces of stone and various tools lying around on the benches. It’s not a clean, polished office environment at all. It’s a workshop where things actually get made by hand by real people. We have a few guys who have been carving and shaping stone for most of their lives. They don't say much during the day, but they know exactly what they're doing with their hands. Shastri Nagar is a decent place to be, and our neighbors are mostly other small businesses or families. We don't have a big sign out front or anything fancy like that. Most people know us by word of mouth from others in the area. Sometimes the dust gets everywhere, even in our afternoon tea, but we don't mind it much anymore. We handle a lot of different handicrafts, so the shelves are always full of various items waiting to go. We don't really follow a strict corporate schedule or anything. We start when the sun is up and finish when the work for the day is finally done. It’s a simple way of living and working. Hiran Magri is home for us, and we like being part of the local scene here without making any kind of fuss.
