Modern Flour Mills P Ltd

Out here in Palla, things are a bit slower than the main city parts of Delhi. We’ve been running the Modern Flour Mills for a while now. It’s a bit dusty, as you’d expect from a place that grinds grain all day. The machinery has its own rhythm, a sort of constant hum that you stop noticing after the first hour. Most of our workers live nearby or come from the village. We deal with trucks coming in early with wheat and leaving with bags stacked high. It’s heavy work. Your hands get rough and there's always a thin layer of white powder on your clothes when you go home. The office isn't anything special, just a desk with too many papers and a phone that rings at odd times. We don’t have a fancy website or a bunch of slogans. We just mill the flour and get it out the door. The weather affects us a lot, especially when it rains and we have to make sure everything stays dry. In the winter, the mornings are foggy and the tea from the stall down the road is the only thing that gets us moving. It’s a practical business. We don’t spend time on big speeches. If the grain is good, the flour is good. That is pretty much the whole story of our daily life here in this corner of Delhi. We just keep the bags moving and try to keep the machines from getting clogged up.
