Brothers Coir Mills Pvt. Ltd.

Out in Muhamma, things move a bit slower than in the main town. Brothers Coir Mills Pvt. Ltd. is situated near the water, and you can always smell the dampness in the air. We use Post Bag No.- 3 for our letters. It is mostly family running the show here, which means we have our fair share of arguments, but we always end up having dinner together anyway. The factory floor is always covered in that fine brown dust that comes off the husks. We’ve got some old machines that need a lot of looking after, but they still work better than the new ones sometimes. When the rain starts, the sound on the metal roof is so loud you can't even talk. We just point and nod until it passes. We have a lot of locals who come in to work the looms, and they’ve been doing it since they were young. It’s physical work, and your back feels it by the end of the shift. We aren't trying to change the world or anything; we are just making mats and trying to keep the orders moving out on time. The truck driver who picks up the loads is always late, so we usually end up waiting around on Friday afternoons. That’s just how it goes here.
