A N S Bricks Works

We have been running A N S Bricks Works for quite a while now over here in Parigi. If you head down to 4/13, you will find us pretty easily in Hindupur. It is a dusty kind of place but that is just the nature of working with clay and fire all day long. My cousins and a few local men spend most of the daylight hours out by the kilns. We don't have a big fancy office with air conditioning or anything like that. Usually, I am just sitting at a wooden desk with papers flying around when the wind picks up. The red soil here is good for what we do. You can see the stacks of finished bricks lining the yard from the road. Some days are slower than others, especially when the rain starts coming down hard and we have to cover everything up fast with plastic sheets. It gets muddy and messy, but we manage. People stop by to ask about prices or just to see how the stock looks. We hand-load the trucks most of the time. It is hard work and our backs feel it by the evening. We have been part of this neighborhood for a long time. Everyone knows the sound of our tractor moving around. We just keep our heads down and do the work. It is not glamorous, but it is honest. We take our tea breaks under the big neem tree when it gets too hot to stand in the sun.
