Chinmay Ice Cream Parlour

Vile Parle East is always moving, and we are right in the middle of it. Chinmay Ice Cream Parlour has been here for a bit, and we see all sorts of people. You have the college kids coming in after their classes and the older folks who live in the neighborhood walking by in the evenings. The shop is simple. We have the display counter and a few bins for trash outside. I try to keep the place looking decent, but with so many people walking in and out, the floor gets dirty fast. I've got a small radio that plays the local stations while I work. It gets a bit lonely if it's too quiet. Most of the day is just waiting for the next customer and making sure the scoops are clean. Vile Parle is a tight-knit place, so you end up knowing everyone's business after a while. I don't have a big staff, maybe just one helper on the weekends when it gets a bit more crowded. The street outside is narrow, so it's always noisy with horns and people talking. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the name above the door. People usually know where we are anyway. It’s not a fancy cafe, just a spot to get a scoop and move on. Sometimes I think about changing the paint, but I never get around to it. It’s just how it is.
