Bhorosa Rice Mill

We set up Bhorosa Rice Mill out here on Paraj - Sillaghat Rd quite a while back. It is mostly about getting the local harvest processed and ready for the market. Most days you’ll find the machinery running loud and the trucks coming in and out from the nearby fields. It is a bit dusty around the yard, but that is just how it goes with grain. We don't have a big office or anything fancy, just the shed and the mill. We handle a lot of paddy that comes from the farmers around this area. My brother and a few others help with the bagging and moving things around. Sometimes the rain slows us down, especially on this road, but we manage to keep the work moving. People stop by to check on their orders or just to see how the season is going. It's a straightforward operation. We just focus on getting the rice cleaned and packed so it can go where it needs to. It isn't a quiet job, and the hours change depending on how much crop is coming in. We keep a ledger on the wooden desk by the door and that’s about as organized as it gets. If you are driving down the road toward Sillaghat, you can't really miss the building. It’s got that old smell of dry husks and earth that stays on your clothes all day. We just do the work and try to stay busy while the season lasts. It's just us here working through the heaps of grain.
