Famous Chicken Centre

Famous Chicken Centre is right here at Shivaji Nagar Sampige, 7th Main 5th Cross, Hampinagara, Vijaynagar 2nd Stage 2. It is a busy corner especially on Sunday mornings. People start lining up early before I even get the shutters all the way up. The chopping block is getting old and has a big dip in the middle from years of work. I sharpen the knives every morning. It is a sound I am used to now. The floor gets washed down twice a day because it has to stay clean. It is hard work standing on your feet for ten hours. We get the supply delivered early. Sometimes the truck is late and I just sit on a plastic stool and wait. My hands are always cold from handling the ice. Customers know me by name and I know what they want before they even say it. Usually it is just a kilo or two for the family meal. We have a small fan that doesn't do much but we keep it running anyway. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint but there is never a good time to close up and do it. It stays loud with the traffic outside and the sound of the cleaver. By the time 8 o'clock rolls around I am ready to head home. We have been in this part of Vijaynagar for years. Most of the other shops around us have changed hands but we are still here doing the same thing every day.
