Pooja Rice Mill

Pooja Rice Mill is located over in Word No.9, right on Sihawa Road. We are pretty easy to spot because we are quite close to the Mahalakshmi Enclave. Being so near a residential area means we have to be careful about the noise sometimes, but people around here are used to the sound of the mill. It is a family-run kind of setup. My father started things here and now we just keep the machines running. We deal with various types of rice that come in from the surrounding farms. The yard gets very crowded during the harvest months. There are bags stacked everywhere and trucks trying to navigate the narrow entrance. It can be a bit of a mess during the rainy season when the ground gets muddy, but we manage to keep the rice dry inside. We do not use any big fancy technology, just the standard hullers and polishers that have served us well for a long time. The work is hard and the days are long, especially when we have a big backlog to get through. Most of our regular customers just drop by the gate to check on their orders. We do not do much advertising or anything. People just know we are here on Sihawa Road. It is just a regular local business trying to get the job done every day without making a big fuss about things.
