Deepak Flour Mill

Deepak Flour Mill is over here at Plot No-A33 in Prem Nagar. If you know the Khati Pra Road in Jotwarda, you’ve probably passed by us without even noticing. The noise of the machines is usually the first thing people notice anyway. It’s loud inside, and there’s always a thin layer of white dust on everything, no matter how much we clean. My clothes are usually covered in it by noon. We spend most of our time lifting heavy sacks of grain and pouring them into the hoppers. It’s physical work and your back definitely feels it by the end of the week. The building itself is just a functional space, nothing special to look at from the outside. We have people coming in with their own bags, waiting while the machines do their job. Sometimes the power goes out, and then everything just stops, which is frustrating but that’s just how it is here. We talk to the regulars about the harvest or how the weather is affecting the crops. It’s a small operation, just a few of us making sure the flour is ground right. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. We just stay busy with the work at hand and try to keep the machines running smooth. The smell of fresh grain is something you get used to after a while, though visitors always mention it. It’s a basic life, but it is honest work that keeps us occupied.
