Goldcola Softdrinks

Goldcola Softdrinks is right here in Mitiyaj village. It’s a quiet place mostly, though being near Somnath Mandir means there is always someone passing by on the road. My family has been around this area for a long time. We started this soft drink thing because it gets really hot out here in Kodinar. People need something cold while they are walking or working in the fields. We don't have a big fancy office or anything like that. It’s just the post office nearby and our small setup. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, but we manage to get by. It’s hard work, moving heavy crates and checking all the bottles, but it keeps us busy. Most days I’m just looking out the door at the road. It’s a simple life. We don’t try to be anything we aren't. We just make the drinks and hope the weather stays warm enough for people to want one. The village kids stop by after school sometimes. You get to know everyone's name after a while. It’s not a big corporate operation with people in suits. It’s just us in Mitiyaj, doing what we do every day. The temple bells ring in the distance and that’s how we mark our time. It’s okay work. It pays the bills and we like being part of the village. I think it is enough to keep us going for a long time. There is nowhere else I'd really rather be.
