Vishnu Electronics & Communications

Our place is at shop number 28 in the Janakpuri DDA Market. This market has been here for a long time, and we have been part of it for a good stretch of those years. We handle electronics and communication stuff, so there are always gadgets and wires sitting on the workbench. The shop isn’t very large, so we have to stack boxes pretty high against the walls. We spend a lot of our time looking at small circuit boards or trying to figure out why a piece of equipment isn’t turning on. It is quiet work mostly, interrupted by people coming in from the DDA flats nearby. The market gets busy in the evenings when everyone is out doing their shopping, but during the day, it is just us and the other shopkeepers drinking tea. We have a few old chairs for anyone who needs to wait. Sometimes the parts we need take a few days to arrive, so we have to keep track of everything in a notebook we keep by the phone. It is a humble spot, and we don’t try to make it look like anything other than what it is—a place to get your electronics looked at. We just show up, do the work, and go home when the sun goes down. It’s a decent way to earn a living in this part of Janakpuri.
