Sri Annapurneswara Rice Mill

Down in Shrikakulam district at Pl.No.14-82, you will find the Sri Annapurneswara Rice Mill. It is a place that stays quite dusty and loud most of the time because of the machinery running. We spend our days dealing with bags of grain and making sure the mill stays in working order. It is hard work and our clothes usually show it by the end of the shift. The mill is situated on this specific plot and it has been our main focus for a long time. We don't really bother with fancy office space or anything like that. Most of our time is spent out where the action is, near the machines. Shrikakulam can get very hot, and that makes the work even more tiring, but we have a routine that we follow. We see the farmers and the trucks coming in and out all through the season. It is a very hands-on kind of job. We don't have a big marketing team or anything; it is just us and the rice. Sometimes things break down and we have to spend hours fixing them, which is frustrating but necessary. We just want to get the work done and go home at the end of the day. It is a basic operation, honest and simple, right here on our plot in the district. We just keep the wheels turning and the grain moving along.
