New Guru Teg Bahadur Rice & General Mills

New Guru Teg Bahadur Rice & General Mills is where we spend all our time. We are tucked away in Village Uppli. Our post office is over in Bhunarheri, which is just a short trip away from the mill. It is a fairly quiet village for most of the year until the harvest season arrives. Then Uppli gets very loud with the sound of many tractors coming through the lanes. We have a good amount of space here, but it seems to fill up very quickly once things get going. The mill has been a part of this village landscape for many years now. We know most of the families living around here. It is not a very complicated life we lead. We wake up, open the heavy doors, and get the motors running for the day. The floor is always covered in a little bit of chaff no matter how much we sweep. You get used to that smell after you have been here a while. Bhunarheri is where we head if we need to get mail or pick up some supplies. In the middle of summer, the heat inside the mill can be quite intense. We have some large fans, but they only do so much. We do not spend any time on marketing or things like that. People know who we are just by living nearby. If you come into Village Uppli, you can see our tall chimneys from a distance. We just focus on the grain.
