If you’re ever walking through Marathahalli, you might see us at 1096. Spark Telecom is a small shop but it’s always got something going on. People are constantly coming in with their phones, asking questions about recharges or why their signal is acting up. It’s a lot of talking throughout the day. The space is a bit cramped once you get three or four people inside, especially with all the boxes of accessories lying around. We try to keep things tidy, but it's hard when you're busy from morning until night. Marathahalli is always noisy with the traffic and the crowds, so it’s never quiet here. We’ve got a couple of chairs for people to wait, though they’re usually taken. My brother and I take turns behind the counter. We’ve learned a lot about people just by listening to them while we work on their gadgets. It’s not a glamorous job, but it pays the bills and keeps us connected to the neighborhood. We’ve seen the area grow so much over the years, with new buildings going up all around 1096. Despite all the changes, we’re still here doing the same thing. We don’t have a website or a big sign, just the name Spark Telecom on the front. It’s a simple setup. We just show up, open the shutters, and see who the day brings in. It's a living.
