Tata Rice Mills

Tata Rice Mills is located over at House No. 160 on Talwandi Road, which is right in Ward No. 15. It is a noisy area because we are so close to the Truck Union. You can hear the engines revving and the horns honking all day long. The air usually has a bit of a grain smell to it, which is expected for a rice mill. We spend a lot of time moving heavy sacks around and making sure the machinery is running like it should. It’s not an easy job and your clothes get dirty pretty fast. Most of the people working here live nearby in the ward. We see the truck drivers coming and going all the time, stopping for a chat or just moving their loads. The building itself is just a practical space. We don't have any fancy offices or anything. It's just the mill and the storage area. Sometimes when the rain comes, the road gets a bit muddy and things slow down, but usually, it is just one load after another. We have been on Talwandi Road for some time. It’s a busy part of the town. We just focus on the rice and getting the work done before the sun goes down. It's a lot of manual labor, but that is just the nature of this business. We don't try to make it look like something it isn't, we just do the milling every day.
