Aditya Soda

We have been running this soda place on Main Road for a good while now. It is right in Mangalwar Peth, which stays pretty busy most of the day because of the main market nearby. If you look across from us, you will see the other soda shop. We are just a small team here trying to keep up with everything. Most mornings start with getting the bottles ready and making sure the CO2 is set. It gets quite warm in the afternoons, so that is when more people tend to stop in while they are out doing their shopping. We don't have anything fancy here, just some basic counters and the machines we use every day. Sometimes the floor gets a bit wet from the ice melting or the bottles sweating, but we try to mop it up when there is a quiet moment. It is honest work and it keeps us on our feet. We see a lot of the same faces coming by from the neighborhood. Being right on the main road means there is always noise from the traffic and people shouting, but you get used to it after a week or two. We just focus on filling the orders and making sure the crates are stacked right so they don't tip over. It is not a big corporate operation, just us in this spot doing what we know how to do. We don't spend much time on decorations or anything like that because we are too busy with the actual work.
