Akshidha Oil & Dall Mill'S

Our mill is over at No 18 in Jeevarathnam Colony, right here in Thandayarpet. It’s a busy place most days. We spend a lot of time getting the seeds ready and then running the big machines to get the oil out. The smell of the ground pulses is always in the air. It’s quite loud when everything is running at once, so we have to shout a bit to hear each other. We’ve been in this spot for a while now. It’s not a fancy office or anything like that. It’s just a working mill where we get our hands dirty. The floors get a bit slippery from the oil, so you have to watch your step. We spend a lot of time bagging up the dall and stacking the heavy sacks in the corner. Sometimes the bags are heavy and my back feels it by the evening. We don't have a big website or a sales team. Folks just come by the colony when they need something. The sun hits the front of the building in the afternoon, making it quite warm inside. We usually have a small fan going, but it doesn't do much against the heat of the machinery. We just keep focusing on the work and making sure the mill stays running. It’s a simple life, just processing the goods and seeing the regular faces who stop in. We don't need much more than that to keep going.
