RADHASHYAM BRICK MANUFACTURING LLP

Up here at Radhashyam Brick Manufacturing Llp, things move at their own pace. We are located in Vill- Kurchiberia, right on the village road near Shibganj. It’s a bit of a drive out to Domjur in Howrah, but that’s where the space is for making bricks. The plot at number 703 is basically where everything happens. It’s mostly outdoor work, so we’re always looking at the sky to see if it’s going to rain. When you’re in the brick business in West Bengal, the seasons really dictate what you can do. Our days start early, usually before the sun gets too hot. We’ve got a small group of guys who have been with us for a while, and we all just pitch in. The road to the village can be a bit rough sometimes, especially for the bigger trucks, but we manage to keep things moving. It isn't a high-tech operation or anything like that. We use the same methods that have worked around here for years. There is always plenty of red dust on everything, including the office chairs. We don't spend much time sitting down anyway. Most of the time is spent out on the grounds checking the stacks or talking to the laborers. It’s a practical way to earn a living, and being out in Shibganj means we’re away from the city noise, which is nice. We just stick to our routine and keep the kiln going. We often share a meal in the small shed when the sun gets too high to work comfortably.
