Jj Bricks Pvt. Ltd.

If you know where Arodi Chowk is, then you’ve probably passed by our place near Thamra Pur. We are tucked away a bit, but the stacks of bricks are hard to miss. The work here is mostly about the seasons. When it’s dry, we are moving fast to get as many bricks made as possible. When the monsoon hits, everything slows down and we have to be careful with the storage. It’s a simple operation, really. We take the earth, shape it, and let the fire do the rest. My hands are always stained with the red soil, and my boots are usually caked in mud. It’s not the kind of job you do if you want to stay clean. The area around here is mostly farms and small houses, so we know a lot of the folks who come by to buy. We don't have a website or any of that stuff. Most people just drive their tractors or small trucks right up to the kiln and we load them up. It’s heavy work, especially in the middle of the afternoon when the sun is beating down on the yard. We take breaks under the trees when we can. It’s just a group of us working hard to make sure the bricks are solid and ready for whatever someone is building. We’ve been at this site for a good while now and we don't plan on going anywhere else. It's just a basic way to make a living, and it feels good to see the houses finished.
