Amber Ice

We are located right here in Babarkot Village, not far from the Babarkot Post Office. If you know the Jafrabad Taluka area, you’ve probably passed by our spot on Babarkot Road once or twice while heading into the main part of the Amreli District. It’s a quiet place most mornings before the sun really gets going. We spend a lot of our time just making sure the machines are running right and that the ice is solid enough to last the trip to wherever it’s going next. It gets pretty dusty out here on the road, so there is always cleaning to do. My cousin usually helps with the heavy lifting because those blocks don't move themselves. We don't have a big sign or anything fancy, just the building where we work. People know where to find us when they need ice for their events or for keeping things cool. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to scramble, but that is just how it is living around here. We’ve been at this for a while now, just doing the same routine day in and day out. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy. The neighbors stop by to chat sometimes when it isn’t too busy. We keep things simple because that’s what works for us in Babarkot. You can see the trucks coming and going all day long from the post office side and we just keep the ice moving through the day and into the evening.
