Govind Electrical

Being right on 68 Makwani GT Road in Ratanada means we see a lot of people every day. Govind Electrical is a small shop, but we pack a lot into it. There are wires hanging from the ceiling and shelves stacked with switches and bulbs of all kinds. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but if you ask for something, we usually know exactly which pile it’s buried under. The GT Road is always loud with horns and trucks, so we usually have to speak up a bit when talking to someone. It’s a dusty job, handling all those electrical components and boxes, but it’s what we know. We don't have any fancy displays or bright neon signs. We just have a counter and some stools for when friends or regulars drop by to chat while we test a motor or fix a fan. Sometimes the heat in Ratanada gets to be a bit much, so we keep a small fan running right on the counter. We’ve been here for a while and the shop has become a bit of a landmark for people nearby. We don't do much advertising; people just know we are here at number 68. It’s just a typical day of fixing things and selling parts to whoever needs them for their home or work. Sometimes we run out of tea and have to send someone across the road, which is always an adventure with that traffic.
