We are set up in C1 of the Gangotri Apartment on Zoo Road. It is a busy spot in Guwahati because the AIDC bus stop is right across the street. We see the buses pulling in and out all day long, and the dust from the R G Baruah Road definitely keeps us busy with the cleaning cloths. The space inside isn't huge, but we make it work for the lunch crowd. We have a small kitchen where the stove is almost always going. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when we have a lot of orders coming in at once. We usually have the radio playing in the background while we prep. The apartment building itself is older, so we have to deal with the usual plumbing issues and occasional power cuts that happen around here. We just keep some candles and backups ready. Most of our staff live nearby, so they just walk to work. We spend a lot of time just chatting with the regulars who live in the apartments above us. It’s a simple operation where we focus on getting the cooking done and making sure the tables are ready for the next person who hops off the bus. The humidity in Guwahati can be tough, but we just keep the fans blowing and keep moving through the day. It doesn't get easier but we handle it.
