New Gujrat Ice Cream

We opened New Gujrat Ice Cream at Bapu Bazar 5 to give people a place to cool off while they shop. Bapu Bazar is famous for being a long walk, and people get tired. Our shop isn't very big. We have the freezers lined up along the wall and a small counter. It’s a simple setup. We spend the day serving scoops and making sure the machines are running correctly. Sometimes the street outside gets so packed you can hardly see the entrance, but people still find their way in. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us working the shifts. We aren't trying to compete with the big national brands. We just focus on our own recipes and what our regulars like. The floor is tile so we can mop it easily because ice cream always drips. It’s a bit of a messy business, but we don't mind. We talk to the other shop owners nearby when we have a break. Everyone in Bapu Bazar knows each other. It feels like a small village inside a big city. We stay open late because that’s when most people are out walking. When the lights go on in the evening, the whole street looks different. We just keep our heads down and serve the next person in line. It’s a good way to earn a living, and we enjoy being here.
