Bala Divya Cold Drink Company

Bala Divya Cold Drink Company sits at No : 1245D on Simth Street. It’s a narrow little street in the Perumalpet area of Vaniyambadi. We don't have a lot of space, so everything is tucked in pretty tight. The crates are stacked nearly to the ceiling in the back room, and you have to be careful when you're moving around so you don't knock anything over. It’s a family-run kind of thing, so there’s always someone talking or the sound of the radio playing in the background. The front door stays open most of the day to let a bit of a breeze in, but it mostly just lets in the street noise. We don't have any big marketing plans or fancy brochures. People just know we are here because we've been here forever. The fridge makes a loud clunking sound every few minutes, but it still keeps everything cold, so we don't bother fixing it. We spend our mornings checking the stock and the afternoons waiting for folks or delivery guys. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to sit in the shade for a bit and talk about the weather. It’s a quiet life for the most part, even if it gets a bit hectic when a big order comes in. We just keep doing what we do every day. The cat usually sleeps on the empty crates by the door.
