K N REDDY BRICK INDISTRIES

Out here in Chiksuguru Village, at the Growth Center Industrial Area, things are pretty straightforward. We make bricks. The yard at Plot 171 and 172 is usually covered in red dust and there’s always a truck backing in or pulling out. It’s hot work, especially in the afternoons when the sun is beating down on the open ground. We’ve been running this for a bit now, and most of our days are spent checking the kilns or talking to drivers about where the next load is going. It isn't a clean job. Your boots get ruined pretty quick and there’s always something that needs fixing, like a broken pallet or a leaky hose. The industrial area is a bit out of the way, but it gives us the space we need. We don’t really do fancy meetings. Usually, if someone wants bricks, they just show up or call and we see what we have ready in the stacks. Sometimes the weather messes things up, like when it rains too hard and the ground gets all muddy, making it tough for the heavy trucks to move around. But that’s just how it goes in this line of work. We just keep the production moving as much as we can. The village is quiet mostly, except for the machinery here. It’s honest work, keeping us busy from early morning until the sun goes down. Most of the guys have been with us for years, so we just get on with it.
