Prakash Brick Field

Over in Bauna Mau, which is near the Post Unnao area in the district, you will find Prakash Brick Field. It is a dusty stretch of land where we spend our mornings and evenings. The local workers here have been with us for years, so we all know each other's families. We aren't a big company with a marketing department, just a family business trying to keep things going. The clay we use comes from nearby, and we try to get the firing right every single time. Sometimes the kiln doesn't behave and we have to adjust things on the fly. It is a lot of physical labor, stacking the finished bricks into piles that look like small buildings themselves. We drink a lot of chai throughout the day to keep our energy up. The trucks come in through the main gate and we help them load up as fast as we can. It’s a messy job, and our clothes are always stained with red dust. People from the district know to come to us when they are starting a new project. We don't have a website or anything like that, just the sign out front and the word of mouth from neighbors. Life in Bauna Mau moves at its own pace, and we are just happy to be a part of it, working in the dirt and the sun until the job is done.
