Ganthimathi Rice Mill

Ganthimathi Rice Mill is at 15 Ramamada Street. If you’ve ever been to Thiruthuraipoondi, you know it’s a place that knows its rice. Our mill is right there in the middle of things. It’s a noisy place because the machines are usually running for hours on end. There is always a bit of dust in the air, which is just how a rice mill is. We’ve got the bags stacked up high and the smell of the grain is everywhere. It’s a lot of work to keep the machines in good shape, and sometimes they act up and we have to spend the whole afternoon fixing a belt or a motor. It’s not a clean or quiet job, but it’s what we do. People bring their grain, and we get to work. The street outside can get a bit crowded when the farmers are bringing in their loads. We don’t have a big front office or a receptionist. Usually, you’ll just find us near the back where the work is happening. It’s a straightforward business. We don’t spend time on fancy talk or decorations. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we’re too busy with the rice to worry about that. It’s just a honest day of work for everyone here at the mill. We do the work, load the trucks, and head home when we are finished.
