Vaibhav Laxmi Dairy & Sweets

We are Vaibhav Laxmi Dairy & Sweets, tucked away in Adajan Dn 14. This place smells like fresh milk and sugar most of the time. We get our dairy deliveries really early, long before most people are even awake. I have to be here to check the cans and make sure everything is cold. The sweet counter is what most people look at when they come in. We make our own pedas and barfis right in the back. It’s hot work near the big stoves, but that’s how you get the flavor right. Sometimes the floor gets a bit sticky from the syrup, but we give it a good scrub every night. We serve the families around Adajan who need their daily milk or curd for dinner. During the festivals, it gets absolutely crazy in here. People line up out the door for boxes of sweets to give to their relatives. I usually have a few assistants helping behind the counter, trying to keep the line moving. We don't use fancy packaging, just the standard boxes and bags that do the job. The fridge hums quite loudly, but I’ve gotten used to it over the years. It’s a busy life, running a dairy. You can’t really take many days off because cows don’t stop giving milk. We just keep doing what we do, serving the neighborhood one liter at a time, making sure everyone gets what they need for their home and their families.
