Thirukkumaran Modern Rice Mill

You can find Thirukkumaran Modern Rice Mill over on Muthur Road. We are at No. 194/1 B in the Veeranampalayam area of Kangayam. It’s a bit of a drive out here, but it's a good spot for a rice mill because there’s plenty of space. We have the big silos and the processing units all set up. The road can get a bit muddy when it rains, which makes it tough for the trucks. We’ve had this place for years. It's a lot of manual labor, lifting heavy bags and making sure the husks are cleared out. We don’t have fancy uniforms or a front desk with a receptionist. Usually, if you show up, you just have to shout for someone to come out from the back. We process the local paddy and it’s a rhythm we’ve gotten used to. Some days are slower than others, but during the harvest, we are working around the clock. The machines have their quirks, and sometimes we have to stop and fix a belt or a motor. It’s not a perfect setup, but it’s ours. Our neighbors are mostly other farmers or small shops, so we all look out for each other. If someone’s truck breaks down, we usually go over with a few tools to see if we can help out. It's a tight-knit spot here on Muthur Road. We have an old calendar on the wall that's a few months behind, but nobody really bothers to flip the pages.
