Mobile Zone

Mobile Zone is located at 289 on the Pune Nagar Road in Sector 32. It’s a busy stretch of road, so there is always noise from the buses and bikes going past. The shop is small and filled with glass cases. We keep the chargers, cases, and screen protectors in those. Most days we are busy replacing screens that people cracked. It’s fiddly work and takes a lot of patience. We have a small fan behind the counter that doesn't do much but we keep it running anyway. The floor is tiled and we sweep it every evening because of the dirt that blows in from the road. We get a lot of students coming in because of the prices. We don't have a big staff, just me and a couple of others. We take turns going for lunch. Sometimes we eat in the back room among the boxes of inventory. It’s not very organized back there, but we know where everything is. We have a lot of different cables hanging from hooks on the wall. Sometimes they get tangled and it takes a minute to get them loose. People come in asking for things we’ve never heard of, and we have to look them up. It’s just a regular mobile shop. We stay open until the street lights come on and then we head home. The sign outside flickers a bit but it still works fine.
