Kunal Sanchi Parlour

Kunal Sanchi Parlour is located in Shahpura, Arera Colony, right in Bhopal. We are mostly known for the dairy products we keep. Every morning, the Sanchi milk crates arrive early, and that’s when the busiest part of our day starts. Everyone wants their milk and curd before breakfast. The shop is small and dominated by the big refrigerators we need to keep everything cold. There’s a constant hum from the compressors, and when the power cuts, we have to worry about the ice cream melting. We also keep some bread and eggs and a few other snacks for the school kids. It’s not the kind of place where you spend an hour shopping; people usually come in, grab what they need from the cooler, and head out. I spend a lot of time cleaning the glass doors of the fridges because of all the fingerprints. The area outside is paved but sometimes gets cluttered with empty crates waiting to be picked up. We have a small counter where I sit and handle the cash. It’s a straightforward job. We don’t have a big team, just a couple of us making sure things don't spoil. On hot Bhopal afternoons, this is a popular spot for anyone looking for a cold drink or a cup of yogurt. We just try to keep the machines running and the stock fresh for the colony.
