Chand Brick Field

Chand Brick Field is situated over in Bagh Mirza, which is a part of Pratapgarh City. We have been making bricks here for a long time. The location is good because the soil is right for the kind of work we do. It is a big open field where you can see rows and rows of unburnt bricks drying in the sun. We have a lot of people working here, mostly families who have been in this trade for generations. The kilns are always going during the dry months, and the heat is quite intense if you get too close. We don't really have a formal office setup. It is more of a small cabin where we sit and talk to the people who come to buy bricks. Pratapgarh City is growing, so there is always someone looking for materials for a new wall or a house. We don't use any modern machinery, just the old ways of mixing and molding the clay by hand. It takes a lot of time and patience. Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate and a sudden rain can ruin a whole batch of bricks that hasn't been fired yet. It is a risky business in that way. We just take it day by day and hope for clear skies. We aren't trying to be the biggest or anything. We just keep the fire going and make sure the bricks come out solid enough for building whatever the customers need.
