Selvaraj Cool Drinks

If you are driving along the Tirupattur-Thenmapattu Road, you will see us at number 65. It’s a prime spot for travelers who are looking to take a break from the road. The traffic is constant, and the sound of trucks and cars is basically the background noise of my life. I keep the shop stocked with all kinds of bottled drinks and sodas. The refrigerators are always humming, and I have to check the temperature regularly because the heat out here can be brutal. I have a few benches outside where people can sit and rest for a minute. The dust from the road is a bit of a problem, so I am constantly dusting off the bottles on the shelves. Most of my customers are just passing through, but I do have some regulars from the nearby farms who stop by every afternoon. It’s a simple setup with a counter and some racks. I don't bother with anything complicated. When the sun goes down, the road gets a bit quieter, but we stay open for the late-night drivers. I keep a radio playing behind the counter to pass the time when things are slow. Dealing with the suppliers is probably the most stressful part, especially when they run out of the popular sodas. But usually, everything runs okay. It’s just me and the drinks, watching the world go by on the road towards Tirupattur every day.
