New Star Interlock Bricks

We are situated over at 25/87, Pandaparambu, right by the Odapallur Post office area. It’s a bit quieter out here compared to the main towns, which is fine by us. Here at New Star Interlock Bricks, the yard is usually full of these interlocking blocks stacked in neat rows. It’s a different way of doing things than the old red bricks. We don’t use a big kiln that smokes up the sky, which the neighbors probably appreciate. The machine makes a lot of noise during the day though. We spend a lot of time mixing the right soil and cement to get the shape to hold properly. Sometimes the mixture isn't just right because of the humidity, so we have to adjust it. It’s a messy job, really. Our clothes are always covered in grey dust by noon. We get a lot of people stopping by asking how these bricks work without much mortar. We just show them how they fit together like a puzzle. The road outside can get a bit muddy when it rains, making it hard for the heavy trucks to get in and out of the post area. We’ve been here for a few years now, just working through the seasons. It’s mostly just a few of us handling the press and moving the finished blocks to the drying area. We keep busy enough, especially when people are building new walls nearby.
