Ample Computers

I run this small computer shop in Krishnarajpuram, at number 168. It’s not a big showroom or anything like that. Most of the space is taken up by old CPU towers, monitors, and boxes of cables. I spend most of my time at the back bench with a screwdriver, taking apart laptops or trying to fix a motherboard that’s given up. People from the neighborhood bring in their PCs when they won't turn on or if they've got some virus. KR Puram is always busy, and I can hear the traffic from the shop all day. It’s just me here, so if I’m busy with a repair, people have to wait a bit. I also sell some basic parts like mice, keyboards, and RAM sticks if someone needs an upgrade. The shop gets a bit dusty because of the road outside, so I’m always wiping down the screens. It’s a practical business. I don’t use any complicated jargon with the customers; I just tell them what’s wrong and how much the part will cost. Sometimes I can’t fix something because it’s too old, and I just have to tell them that. I’ve been doing this for a few years now. It’s a steady job and I like working with my hands. It’s just a local shop for computer troubles.
