Maurya Bricks Works

Running a place like Maurya Bricks Works out here on Kursi Road in Mardiyan means you get used to the noise of the traffic pretty quick. We spend most of our time out in the yard, and let me tell you, it gets hot during the summer months. The dust from the road settles on everything, but we just keep at it. We’ve been at this spot for a good while now, and most people around the district know where to find us if they need something for their building projects. It isn’t the kind of job where you wear a suit and sit in an office. My hands are usually dirty by eight in the morning. We have a routine where we check the kilns and then start sorting through what’s ready. It takes a lot of patience because you can’t rush the process, especially when the weather isn’t cooperating. Sometimes the humidity makes everything take twice as long to dry out, and that’s just frustrating for everyone involved. But we just take it day by day. There’s always another load to move or another customer coming by with a tractor to pick up a small order. We don't have a big fancy sign or anything, just the piles of work sitting there along the road for everyone to see as they drive by toward the city. It is hard work, but we are used to it.
