Hussain Rice

Hussain Rice is on Pallivasal Street. The address is No:2/44 in Babu Raja Puram which is part of Kumbakonam. If you know the area you know it can get pretty warm. We deal with rice all day so there is always that smell in the air. It is a heavy job moving the bags around. My back usually aches by the end of the week but that is part of it. We have been on this street for a long time. People come from all over Kumbakonam because they know we are here. We don't really use computers for much. I have a big ledger where I write everything down with a pen. It works for me. Sometimes the rain comes down so hard we have to move everything back from the door quickly. We see the same faces every month coming in to get their supplies. It is a friendly place. I usually have the radio playing some old songs in the background. My neighbors on Pallivasal Street are good people and we look out for each other. We don't have a big team just a few of us who know how to handle the grain. It gets dusty and we have to sweep a lot. But it is honest work and it keeps the family fed. We just stay here and do our bit for the town.
