It is usually quite loud here on Narela Railway Road because of the trains and the trucks passing by all day. We have been at this spot, number 1982, for a while now. Most days start the same way. I unlock the shutters, sweep the dust off the counter, and wait for the first person who needs a quick fix or a new SIM card. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit there talking to the neighbors. It is a small place, nothing fancy, but it keeps us busy. People stop in on their way to the station. They are usually in a hurry, looking at their watches. I try to get things done quickly because I know how it is when you have a train to catch. There is a lot of tea drinking too. The chai wala comes around three times a day and we take a break then. Sometimes my brother helps out when it gets crowded in the evenings. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the name Bhardwaj Telecom above the door. Most people know us by now anyway. It gets hot in the summer months but we have a small fan that wobbles a bit. It is just a regular shop where we do our work and go home when the sun goes down. Nothing more to it than that. We handle what comes our way and hope the internet stays stable for the day's tasks.
