Final step before bricks are ready!

This sight is on our way to the hospital. This final step of getting the bricks ready has some technical aspects which I discovered a few days back. 

The fire has to burn underneath the pile of bricks for five days. In a pile there would about 20000 bricks. After five days, it would take another seven days or so before the bricks are cool enough to be taken out. 

The strength of the bricks is achieved through this process. It is the sustained heat that makes the bricks strong!

Sometimes, we feel like giving up when we feel burdened by difficulties and challenges! They are also another means for our inner formation of character!
