KHUSI BRICKS LLP

At Khusi Bricks Llp, we operate out of Pakhipala village in the Kultali area. If you’re looking for us, we’re located care of Nirapada. It’s a quiet place compared to the big cities, and that suits us just fine. Most of the people working here are from the local villages. We spend our days out in the open, dealing with the raw materials and the kilns. Making bricks in a place like Kultali means you have to be very aware of the weather. When the monsoon hits, everything slows down and we spend more time maintaining the equipment than actually producing. We don't have a big corporate office or anything. It's just a simple setup where we keep our records and meet with people. The work is physical and there's a lot of mud and fire involved in the process. We’ve been doing this for a while and we know the rhythms of the seasons. Our families often live nearby, so it feels more like a community effort than a strict business. We don't put on any airs about what we do. It’s just about turning earth into something you can build a house with. Every day is pretty much the same: check the stacks, see how the fire is doing, and make sure the trucks are loaded properly. Sometimes the local dogs come and sleep near the office door because it's a bit cooler there. We have a small vegetable patch out back where we grow peppers for our lunch.
