Vinoth Cool Drinks

If you are driving down the Dharmaburi Main Road in Karimangalam, you will probably pass right by us. Vinoth Cool Drinks is a small place, but we stay busy because of the road traffic. It gets very hot out here, and the sun really hits the pavement hard. We spend most of our time standing near the cooling units. There is always a lot of noise from the buses and trucks going toward Dharmaburi. We open up early to get the drinks cold before the midday heat starts. It is a lot of work stocking the shelves and making sure we don't run out of the popular items. We don't have any fancy seating or air conditioning for ourselves, just a small space behind the counter. The locals from Karimangalam stop by, but we also get a lot of travelers who are just passing through and need something cold. The floors get dirty quickly with all the feet coming in, so we are constantly cleaning up. It is a simple business. We don't have any big corporate goals or anything like that. We just want to make sure the fridge is full and the lights stay on. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when the traffic dies down for a few minutes. It is a regular life on the main road, and we have been doing it this way for a long time now. We are just here every day.
