Star Brick

We are located in Simaliya, right on Circular Road in Lalpur. It is an interesting spot because we are so close to the Galaxia Mall. You can see the big glass building from our yard, which is usually just full of dirt and stacks of bricks. It’s a real contrast between the new city buildings and the old way of making things. Our day starts early, usually before the traffic on Circular Road gets too heavy to move. We spend the morning sorting through the stacks and getting things ready for the local builders who stop by. The dust gets everywhere, and sometimes I think the people going to the mall look at us like we are from a different world. We have a small crew of guys who have been doing this a long time. They know how to handle the bricks without breaking too many in the process. It’s not a pretty job, and we don’t spend any money on making the yard look nice for visitors. It’s just a place of work. People often stop their cars because they see our piles of bricks while they are heading to the shops. We talk to them, tell them what we have available, and sometimes they come back later with a trailer. Lalpur is growing fast, so there is always a need for more materials. The noise from the mall and the road is constant, but we just keep our heads down and work through it.
