By now everyone visiting this blog may have viewed my profile. It is possible that you may have landed up in this blog spot through my website http://www.stoneint.in and may have learnt a lot regarding my commitment to the natural stone industry. I have been dealing in natural stones since 1981 immediately after my father died. Therefore, in addition to the death anniversary of my dad on May 28th every year, I also observe is date as the anniversary of being in business, initially with clearing up the widespread mess left behind by a person regarded as the Stone King in those days. Those were the days of regressive government regimes, spoke in the wheel bureaucracy and the most archaic transportation and communication facilities in place in India. The question everyone asked me is "Why I considered this task as clearing up a widespread mess?" It was indeed widespread. Just consider the size of India and the distance involved in traveling between the locations where different varieties of natural stones are quarried together with archaic transportation and communication systems. To add salt to the wounds the bureaucracy propagated regression with the support of regressive government regimes that has scant regard for entrepreneurship and placed a lot of spokes in the wheel for any progressive developments. However, our family still continued promoting exports and growth of the natural stone industry in India. My father would have loved to witness the growth of this industry to what it is today. In this blog, I mainly post articles on the following subjects:- Problems faced by the Building & Construction Industry in using Indian natural stones.
Problems faced by the Indian natural stone industry in general during course of their business.
Government policies of the Indian Government as well as the Regional State Governments specific to or affecting the natural stone industry in India.
Suggestions for application of natural stones.
Suggestions for end users for proper maintenance and care of natural stone products.

Once again I welcome you to this journey of stone through time. This journey started millions of years back at the time of formation of our dear planet earth, and it continues till today when we use the natural stones for various applications that outlive us and still continue throughout the journey that never seems to end.
