Odyssey Computer Service

We’ve been at 8 Ganesh Chandra Avenue for a while now. It’s on the first floor, so you have to head up the stairs when you get to Dharmatala. The shop isn't fancy at all, just a bunch of desks and old parts lying around. People usually come by when their laptop screen is acting up or the keyboard stops working for no reason. We spend most of the day looking at motherboards and trying to figure out why things won't turn on. Sometimes it's a quick fix, other times we have to wait for a part to arrive in the mail. It gets busy in the afternoons, especially with all the traffic outside on the avenue. We just try to get things done so people can get back to their work. We've seen all sorts of computers over the years, from old bulky ones that weigh a ton to the newer slim models. If you’re walking past the building, you might miss the entrance if you aren't looking for the number 8 sign. It's just a regular workspace where we handle repairs and maybe sell a few things here and there. There is nothing too complicated about how we run things. Most of the guys here have been working with electronics since they were kids, so we know our way around a circuit board. We don't really do much advertising, mostly just folks in the neighborhood stopping in. The tea guy comes by twice a day, and that’s usually when we take our only real break from the screens.
