Vijay Ice Cream

Being at No. 189-A on T.H. Road in Kodungaiyur means we see a lot of people passing by every day. This part of M.R Nagar is always moving. We spend most of our time around the big freezers. Making ice cream is what we do, but it is mostly just about keeping things cold and making sure the containers are full. The shop isn't very large. We have some lights that flicker sometimes and a floor that we have to mop constantly because of the drips. It gets very hot outside on T.H. Road, so people like to stop in when they are walking to the bus stop or heading home. We have lived around Kodungaiyur for a long time, so we know many of the faces that come through the door. It is not like those big companies you see in the city. We just handle the milk and the sugar and the flavors ourselves. Sometimes the delivery truck is late because of the traffic in M.R Nagar, and we just have to deal with it. It is a bit cramped behind the counter, but we make it work. Most days are just spent checking the temperature and serving whoever walks in. It is a basic life here, just keeping the ice cream frozen and the shop open for the neighborhood.
