Laxmi Mobile Center

Our shop is right here in Lal Kuan 2. Ghaziabad is always moving. Fast. Our little spot is no different. It’s usually a bit messy behind the counter. Cables everywhere. Chargers and headphones piled up in the corners. We try to keep it organized but it never stays that way for long. One customer leaves and another one comes in immediately. Usually they are asking about a screen protector or why their battery is dying so fast lately. We don't use fancy words here. We just tell them what’s wrong with the device. If it can be fixed, we do it. If it’s too far gone, we say so. My cousin stays here most of the morning hours. I take over in the afternoon. It gets very hot in the summer. We have a small fan that makes a weird clicking noise. You get used to it after a while. The area is always noisy. Traffic outside never seems to stop. Sometimes we sit on the stools outside when it’s finally quiet. Just to get some fresh air. But mostly we are inside. Looking at screens and testing buttons. People come from all over the neighborhood. They know we are honest. If we don’t have a specific part in stock, we get it from the main market the next day. It’s just work. Nothing more. We’ve seen the mobile business change so much over the years. It keeps us busy.
