Thendral Hollow Blocks

At 7 C, Gandhi Nagar, you will find Thendral Hollow Blocks. We are based right here in Patthamadai and have been for a good while. The work we do is pretty straightforward, just making hollow blocks for whoever needs them. The yard is usually full of stacks that are drying out in the sun. It gets real hot in Gandhi Nagar during the afternoon so we try to get most of the heavy stuff done early. My back usually aches by the time I’m done for the day. It’s a lot of manual work, mixing the materials and loading the trucks. We don’t have a big fancy storefront or anything like that. People just know the spot and come by when they need something. Sometimes the neighbors stop for a quick chat while we’re busy. The machines can be quite loud when they are running. Patthamadai is a nice enough place to work in. We try to keep things organized at 7 C but it gets crowded when we have a lot of stock. There is always sand and grit on the ground. It’s just the nature of the business. We don't really have any big plans, just to keep making the blocks and getting them out to the sites. It’s a simple life and it keeps us busy from morning until evening. Most of the time it’s just us and the blocks and the heat. We just keep the routine going every day.
