Mahaveer Rice & General Mills

Out here in Village Aulakh, right on Muktsar Road, you will find Mahaveer Rice & General Mills. We are located near the Focal Point area, which stays busy with all sorts of transport. It’s a lot of manual labor, moving bags around and keeping an eye on the hullers. The village life is slow but the mill keeps us moving. Some days the power goes out and we just have to sit and wait, which is frustrating but part of the deal. We see a lot of the same faces every year. The trucks come in off Muktsar Road and line up. It can get pretty crowded during the peak season. We try to keep the place tidy but with so much grain moving through, there is always some husk on the floor. It’s a plain building, nothing special to look at. We’ve been at this for a while now. The air smells like toasted grain most of the time. My cousin helps out with the books while the rest of us stay out in the main area. It’s a decent living, even if it is dusty. We don't spend money on advertising or anything because the work speaks for itself around the village. If you are looking for us, just head down towards the Focal Point and you’ll see the gates. It's a plain place but it's ours.
