Sudhir Telecom Centre

Radheypuri H 5 is where you will find me most of the time. The shop isn't very large, but we have managed to fit everything we need inside. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than two people come in at once. I usually start the day by wiping down the glass displays and checking the balance on the recharge systems. There is a lot of paperwork involved with telecom stuff that people don't see, just piles of forms and ID copies tucked away in the drawers. The area around H 5 is mostly residential, so I know a lot of the faces that walk past the door. Some people just come in to ask for directions or to use the phone for a quick second. It can get a bit tiring standing around all day, so I have an old wooden chair that has seen better days. The lighting isn't the best in the back of the shop, but we make do. I don't really do much advertising. People just know we are here because we've been at this spot for quite some time. Sometimes the electricity cuts out and we just sit there in the dark until it comes back, chatting with whoever is around. It’s a very ordinary life here in Radheypuri. We just handle the phones and the connections and hope the day goes by without too much trouble.
