Shekhar Bricks

Our place is right on Sarjapur Main Road, specifically at 14/8 in the Kaikondrahalli area. If you know the road, you know how busy it gets with all the traffic and the new buildings going up everywhere. It feels like there is never a quiet moment with the cars rushing by. We have a good amount of space here for the brick stacks. Every morning, we check the piles to see what’s left from the day before. The sun gets really hot on this stretch of the road, so we try to get the heavy work done before noon if we can. Most of the time, it’s just about keeping the orders straight and making sure the loaders don't get too tired. We see a lot of the same faces, mostly local contractors and guys who have been building in this part of town for years. The ground is usually covered in brick pieces and sand. We don't really have an office, just a small shed where we keep the books and take a break when the heat gets too much. It’s a simple setup, really. We just focus on getting the trucks in and out as fast as possible so they don't block the main road traffic. Sometimes the dust from the road makes it hard to see, but we just keep going. It is hard work, but it’s what we do every day to keep the yard running and make sure we stay on top of the list.
