We've been at this spot on Station Road for a while now. It’s right where Laxmi Road meets the main strip, so there’s always a bit of noise from the traffic outside. Most days start the same way. We unlock the shutters, turn on the lights, and wait for the first person to walk in with a laptop that won't start or a screen that's gone dark. It's usually pretty quiet inside, except for the hum of the fans and the sound of someone typing. We spend a lot of time looking at motherboards and trying to figure out why things aren't working right. Sometimes the shop gets a bit messy with cables and boxes everywhere, but that’s just how it goes when you’re busy. My desk is tucked in the corner behind the counter, mostly covered in spare parts and old invoices. We see all sorts of people coming through the door. Some are students from nearby, others are just folks living in the neighborhood who need a hand with their home setups. It’s a small space, really. We don’t have fancy displays or anything like that. Just shelves with the stuff people usually need and a few chairs for when someone has to wait a bit. Lunch is usually something quick from one of the stalls nearby. Then it's back to the screens until the sun goes down and we lock up for the night. That's pretty much it.
