Balajee Engineering Work

Working out of Plot No. 323-a in the GIDC Industrial Estate means you get used to the noise pretty fast. It’s a busy corner and there’s always someone moving something heavy nearby. We spend most of our time hunkered down over the workbenches. The light isn't great inside, but we know where every tool is kept, even if it looks like a mess to someone else. Balajee Engineering Work isn't a huge operation, just a handful of us trying to stay ahead of the deadlines. The concrete floor is cracked in places from dropping heavy parts over the years. We usually have the radio playing in the background, though you can barely hear it over the grinding. Lunch is usually eaten quickly so we can get back to it. Sometimes the power cuts out for an hour and we all just sit outside on the steps and watch the trucks go by on the estate road. It’s a simple life. We don’t have an office with fancy chairs or a person to answer the phones. Usually, if the phone rings, someone wipes their hands on a rag and picks it up. The walls are covered in old calendars and scribbled notes about dimensions. It’s just a regular workshop where we put in our hours and go home when the sun goes down. There is always something that needs fixing or adjusting around here.
