Meer Mobiles

Meer Mobiles is tucked away in Indira Bazar at G 48. If you know the bazaar, you know how packed it gets with shoppers and scooters. Our shop is quite small, but we pack it full of mobile phones and accessories. There are covers in every color hanging from the walls. I spend my day standing behind the glass counter, talking to people about which phone has the better battery or camera. It’s a noisy environment with all the other shops nearby playing music or shouting out to customers. Sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming, but I like the energy of the market. The tiles on the floor are cracked in one corner where a heavy box fell last year. I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. We buy and sell used phones too, so there is always a lot of testing going on. I have to check the speakers and the screens to make sure they aren't broken. My hands are usually covered in fingerprints from cleaning the screens over and over. We don't have any corporate rules here. We just try to be helpful to anyone who walks in from the street. The tea seller comes by twice a day, and that’s usually the highlight of the afternoon. It’s a simple business in a very busy part of Jaipur. We just keep going day by day.
