Chill Out Ice Cream Parlour

We run Chill Out Ice Cream Parlour over in the Powai area. It’s a decent spot, though the rent around here is getting higher every year. The shop itself is fairly small, but we have enough room for the essentials. We spend a lot of time making sure the machines are running right because the heat in Powai can be quite something. There are a lot of offices nearby, so we see a lot of people in shirts and ties coming in during their lunch breaks. It’s a bit different from the residential areas. We don't have a big marketing team or anything, just a sign out front that we put up ourselves. Most days are pretty much the same. We sweep, we serve, and we wait for the next person to walk in. Sometimes the lake nearby brings a bit of a breeze, but mostly it’s just humid. We keep the napkins stocked and the floor mopped. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s ours. We don't try to be the trendiest place in town. We just keep the doors open and the freezers cold. If you’re walking around Powai and want to sit down for a minute, we’ve got a couple of stools. It’s a plain place, nothing more and nothing less. We just focus on the daily tasks and try to keep things moving. We usually close up once the street traffic dies down for the night.
