Milk Boy

If you’re ever near Moti Dungri Road around Kharbuja Mandi 2,3 in the early hours, you’ll probably see us working. Milk Boy isn't a place for people who like to sleep in late. We have to be up and ready long before the sun even thinks about coming out. The air around the Mandi is always cool and damp in the morning, and you can hear the metal cans clinking together. We handle a lot of milk and dairy products, so everything has to move fast before it gets warm. The shop is pretty basic with tiled walls and floors that we have to wash down all the time to keep things clean. It’s a lot of lifting heavy containers and pouring things out. We don't have much time for chatting when the morning rush is on, but later in the day, things settle down a bit. We see the same delivery guys every single day, and we know their names and how they like their tea. The space is small and mostly filled with coolers and crates. It’s a bit of a messy business, dealing with liquids all day, but we are used to the dampness and the smell. We just focus on getting the supply in and making sure it goes where it needs to go. It’s a routine that hasn't changed much in years.
