Khattra Rice Mill

You can find Khattra Rice Mill right on Malerkotla Road in the village of Khattra. It is a place that everyone in the village knows pretty well. We have been sitting on this stretch of road for years, and it hasn't changed all that much in that time. The village life is quiet for the most part, except for when the mill is running at full capacity. The noise carries across the fields, but nobody seems to mind it much because it means work is getting done. We handle a lot of rice here. It's a messy business with all the husks and the dust that floats in the air, but it’s what we are used to. Malerkotla Road is always busy with people heading to the bigger towns, so we see a lot of people passing by our gates. We don't have a big sign or anything flashy. People just know where the Khattra mill is located. Sometimes the machines break down and we have to spend the whole day fixing them with grease up to our elbows. That’s just part of the job. We don't mind it. We just keep working until the job is finished. It’s a straightforward life here in the village. We wake up, we head to the mill, and we do what needs to be done. It’s been that way for a long time and will probably stay that way.
