Prince Cold Drinks

We are over at Dohariya Bazar in the Sadar area of Gorakhpur. Our place, Prince Cold Drinks, is very close to the Gorakhnath Mandir. Because of the temple, there’s usually a lot of people walking around, especially on holidays. It’s a lively neighborhood and there's always something going on. We keep the shop open long hours to make sure anyone passing by can get a cold drink. The bazar gets really crowded in the evenings, and the noise from the street is something we've just learned to live with. We handle all the loading and unloading ourselves. It’s a lot of lifting crates and moving bottles around. Sometimes the inventory gets a bit messy, but we try to keep it organized. We aren't a big chain or anything, just a local spot where you can find what you need. My family helps out quite a bit. We’ve seen the bazar grow and change over the years. It’s a good feeling to be a part of the local community in Gorakhpur. We don't spend much time on fancy things; we just focus on keeping the fridges full and the customers happy. If you’re visiting the mandir, you’ve probably walked right past us. We just keep doing our work every day and hope for the best. It's a basic shop, but it's our livelihood and we enjoy the people here.
