Shree Jagdish Rice & Pulse Mill

We are out here on National Highway 8-A in Bavla. It gets pretty loud with all the trucks passing by all day long, especially the big ones headed toward the coast. If you are looking for us, we are right near the Ramdevpir Temple, which is a big landmark that everyone around here knows. Most days it is just us working through the piles of rice and pulses that come in from the farms around the district. The machines at Shree Jagdish Rice & Pulse Mill have been running for quite a long time now. Sometimes they need a bit of a fix or a part changed out, but we keep them going. It is dusty work, honestly, and there is no point in pretending it isn't. You spend your whole day with the smell of dry grain and husks in the air. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning or anything like that. Just a sturdy place where the work gets done and the bags get filled up for transport. My father used to say that as long as people need to eat, we will always have a job to do here. We see a lot of people stopping by because of the temple being so close. Sometimes they just ask for directions or want to see how the mill actually works. It is a simple life in Bavla. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just mill the grain, pack it up, and send it off. The weather gets really hot in the summer, but we just drink more water and keep at it. We’ve been here a while and most folks in the area know our spot.
