Karuna Sri Flour Mill

You can find us at H. No -6-61 in Pakhal, which is over in the Ashok Nagar area of Khanapur, Warangal. Running a flour mill is hard work and it definitely keeps us on our toes. From the moment we open the doors in the morning, the machines are usually running. It’s noisy and there is always a bit of dust in the air, but that’s just part of the job. We see a lot of people from the neighborhood bringing in their grain to get it ground up. We’ve known some of these families for years, and it's nice to have those connections. The heat from the motors can get pretty intense during the summer months, so we try to take breaks when we can. We aren't doing anything complicated here, just the same work that's been done for a long time. Our setup is pretty basic, but it gets the job done for everyone in Pakhal. We spend a lot of time cleaning the equipment and making sure everything is working like it should. Sometimes the power goes out, which is a bit of a headache, but we just wait it out and start back up when we can. It’s a modest way to make a living, and we take pride in the fact that we're a local fixture in Ashok Nagar. People know where we are and what we do, and that's enough for us. It gets tiring but we wouldn't have it any other way right now.
