Sri Krishna Bricks

You can find Sri Krishna Bricks over at number 5 in V D Shankar Nagar, right in the Thenpathi area. It is a local spot and we have been around for quite a bit. Making bricks is what we know. It is not the kind of job where you stay clean. By the end of the day, there is red mud on everything we own. We get the clay brought in and then we start the molding process. It takes a lot of space to lay them all out to dry before they go into the kiln. Thenpathi has grown quite a bit lately, and we see more houses going up every year. It keeps us on our toes. We don't have any big corporate meetings or anything. We just talk over coffee in the morning and decide which batch needs to be moved. The yard can get a little disorganized when we are really busy, but we always know where everything is. Sometimes the rain catches us off guard, and we have to hurry to save the wet bricks. It's a lot of physical labor, lifting and stacking all day. My uncle used to run things, but now it is mostly me and a few others. We just keep our heads down and do the work. It is a steady life and we like being part of this neighborhood. There is a certain rhythm to the work that feels right.
