Started out years ago here at Plot No. 722-k1. It is a busy spot in the GIDC Industrial Estate. Most days it is just us working through whatever orders came in. My father and brothers are usually around the shop floor. We do not have a fancy office or anything like that. Just some desks and the machines. The floor gets dusty pretty fast because of all the work going on. You can hear the noise from the other shops nearby. Sometimes we sit outside for a bit when the power goes off or during the lunch break. We have known the neighbors for a long time. People just stop by if they need something done or want to ask about a part. It is not a big corporate place. We just try to get the jobs finished before the sun goes down. Sometimes the trucks have a hard time finding the exact plot number because the estate is so big. We tell them to look for the blue gate. It is nothing special, just a regular family business doing the work. We have seen a lot of changes in the estate over the years. New buildings going up, old ones getting repainted. We just keep our heads down and handle the daily tasks. It gets pretty loud in here with the machines running all morning, but we are used to it by now. The tea stall down the road knows our order. That is how it goes here.
