M/S. Anitha Earth Movers

Down here at H.No.4-80 in Chinnakorpolu, we handle all the earth moving stuff. It’s a small village in Nekkonda, so everyone pretty much knows where we are. We keep the machines parked near the house when they aren't out on a job site. It gets pretty muddy around here during the monsoon, which makes the work a lot harder but there is always something to dig or clear. We started this business because there was a lot of building happening in the village and the mandal nearby. It’s mostly just me and a couple of operators who know how to handle the heavy equipment. We don't have a big corporate setup or anything like that. It’s just us talking to people who need a plot cleared or a trench dug for a new pipe. Sometimes the machines break down and we have to spend the whole day fixing a hydraulic line or getting parts from the city. It’s greasy, hard work, but it’s what we do. The house is our main base, and my family helps out with taking messages when the phone rings. We’ve been in Chinnakorpolu for a long time, so we know the land around here pretty well. It’s a simple life and we just take it one job at a time. Not every day is busy, but when work comes, we stay out until the sun goes down. The machines are old but they get the job done for the people here.
