Jay Jalaram Bricks Works

Jay Jalaram Bricks Works is pretty much right near the New RTO Office. It is a landmark everyone knows, so people don't usually get lost finding us. Having the RTO office so close means there is always a lot of movement and people around the area. Our yard is usually full of bricks in various stages of being done. Some are still wet and dark, while others are fired and ready to go. The workers are always busy, either mixing the earth or stacking the finished product into those high rectangular piles. We don't have any big signs or flashy stuff. It is just a place of work. The noise of the tractors is the soundtrack to our lives here. We have to be careful with the piles because if they lean too much, the whole thing can come down. I spend a lot of time walking around checking the quality, making sure nothing is crumbling. It is a physical job, no doubt about it. Most of us go home with dust in our hair and on our skin. We don't really think about it much because it is just part of the day. When the building season is on, we are working almost every hour of daylight. We just supply what we can to the people building houses nearby. It is a simple operation, really, just us and the bricks and the red dirt under our fingernails every single day.
