Aamir Chicken Centre

It is usually quite early when we get things started here at Aamir Chicken Centre. We are located in Aundh Panchkula, right near the Spaysar College. Being on Spicer Road means we get a lot of students walking past on their way to classes throughout the day. The shop is pretty basic, just the counters and the heavy cutting blocks. It’s a messy job, honestly. My boots are usually wet from washing down the floor several times to keep things clean. We spend a lot of time sharpening knives and getting the orders ready for people who live in the neighborhood. Some customers are very specific about how they want things cut, so you have to pay attention to what they are saying. It gets loud with the fans going and the noise from the street right outside the entrance. By the afternoon, it can get quite warm in here. We just keep the shutters up and work through it until the evening. I’ve lived in this part of Aundh for years, so I know a lot of the people who stop by. They usually ask how the family is doing while I wrap their chicken in plastic and newspaper. It isn't a glamorous business, but people always need what we're selling. At the end of the day, we scrub everything down with soap and water so it's ready for the next morning. It is hard work but it is what we do.
