Noble Seeds

Out here at Plot No. 44 in Pocket J, the Bawana Industrial Area feels like a different world. Noble Seeds is located in Sector 3, and it’s a lot of walking if you don't have a scooter. The warehouse is big and the air usually smells like dried earth and seeds. We have rows and rows of sacks stacked up on wooden pallets. It’s a quiet place most of the time, except for when the heavy trucks are backing into the loading bay. We spend a lot of our day checking the tags on the bags and making sure nothing is getting damp. The roof is made of tin, so when it rains, it’s so loud we can’t even hear each other talk. We have a small corner with a table where we eat our lunch and keep the water cooler. There aren't many trees around, so the sun really beats down on the yard in the summer. We’ve gotten used to the dust and the long hours. Most of the work is just moving heavy bags and keeping the records straight in our books. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. We usually head out before it gets too dark because the roads in Bawana can be tricky at night. It’s a lot of space to manage, but we just take it one row of sacks at a time.
