Raj Cold Drink Agency

Raj Cold Drink Agency is right in Jalilpur, near the petrol pump. It is a pretty good spot because almost everyone who stops for fuel ends up seeing our place. In District Bijnor, the summers can be really brutal, so having cold drinks ready is a big deal. We have stacks of crates all over the place, sometimes it is hard to walk through the back. The shop has a simple concrete floor that we try to keep clean, but the dust from the main road always finds its way in. It is a family business that my father started years ago. Now I do most of the heavy lifting and help with the deliveries to the smaller shops nearby. We have a truck that comes by a few times a week to drop off new stock. Sometimes the cooling units act up when it is really hot, and that can be a real headache, but we usually get them fixed pretty fast. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning or anything like that. It’s just a desk, some chairs, and a lot of storage space. The noise from the traffic near the petrol pump is constant, but you stop noticing it after a few weeks. During the wedding season, we stay open much later because people always need extra crates of drinks for their parties. It is just the way things go here in Jalilpur.
