Arshad Cool Corner

Lucknow gets really hot, so having a place like Arshad Cool Corner on Shameena Road makes sense. We are right in the Chowk area, near the Medical College Choraha. It’s a very busy part of town. There are always students and hospital workers walking around 226003. We see a lot of them coming in when they have a break. The road is often crowded with rickshaws and people rushing. We've got our spot on Shahmeena Road and we’ve stayed here because it’s where everything happens. It’s not a big shop but it stays busy. We don't really do much besides running the place day to day. We don't have a big marketing plan or fancy signs. It’s just the name on the front and the stuff we sell inside. People know us because we are near the medical college. Sometimes we talk to the regulars about how the day is going or the traffic outside. It’s a simple life. We keep things running and try to make sure we don't run out of the popular items. Being in Chowk means you never have a dull moment. There is always something going on right outside the door. We just focus on our small corner and try to be helpful to whoever walks in. It’s a bit dusty sometimes because of the construction nearby but we keep it going. It is just a regular Lucknow spot where people can stop for a minute and then move on.
