Assistant Eng.

You can find me over at Pradip Radios near the Jodhpur Gate in Jam Khambhalia. I’ve been the assistant engineer here for a good while now. Jamnagar is a big district, but our little corner in Khambhalia is where I spend all my time. It’s a workshop, mostly. There are parts everywhere and the smell of solder is pretty much constant. People bring in all sorts of things for me to look at. I don't just do radios, even though that’s the name on the shop. It’s a lot of fixing and tinkering with whatever comes through the door. The shop has been around for ages. It's a bit cluttered and the lighting isn't the best, but I know where everything is kept. Jodhpur Gate is a busy area so there is always noise from the street coming in. I usually have a cup of tea on the bench while I’m working on a circuit or trying to figure out why a motor stopped. It’s not a fancy engineering firm with computers and clean desks. It’s a place where your hands get dirty and you figure things out by trying. Most of the locals know the shop, so they just drop things off and I get to them when I can. It’s a slow process sometimes because some parts are hard to get these days. But we get there eventually. Just a simple shop doing what we can for the neighborhood.
