A workshop that functions 24X 7 ? A dream come true for motorists. Well those in Indore are the lucky ones. The nameless workshop owned by Mohammed Salim has never closed since 1947. For that very reason, it doesn't have doors ! The oldest workshop in Indore doesn’t charge extra for the night shift service. The Salims have been running the workshop for four generations.

Walk in

I was at the walk in on Saturday Nov 4 and was surprised to recognise a candidate who I had seen and rejected six months back-- I could recollect him well and his communication was so poor-- This time he was well prepared-- he passed the Written and the GD and was in front of me-- His communication was good -- It was much better than last time around-- I asked him what he did-- It was shocking-- he quit the job he had on the same day he met me last time and went to Madurai ( his home town )-- I thought he would have a joined a communication program-- No he did not-- For the past four months, he just watched the news channels and the English movie channels-- that helped him to pick up-- I told him he was selected this time-- he broke down-- He was the eldest in the family and his younger brothers were supporting him in his studies--B.Com and MBA -- they do book binding and are aged 19 or so and have been supporting the elder brother for the last ten years-- I allowed him to compose himself and he left-- His aim to join Ford and no other company-- good for us--A star will be born if one of you guys take him-- He will fit in SG2
