Cyber World - Cafe

Cyber World is located at C/146 Tirthabharati in Sodepur. It is basically a small cafe where people come to use the internet or get some papers printed. We have about ten computers lined up against the walls. Some are newer than others but they all do the job. In the afternoons, it gets quite crowded with students who need to finish their school projects or fill out forms for exams. We have a couple of printers that are almost always running. You can hear the clicking of keyboards and the hum of the cooling fans all day long. Sometimes the internet connection gets slow when it rains, and everyone starts complaining at once. We just have to call the provider and wait for it to get better. I spend most of my time behind the main desk helping people who don't know how to attach a file to an email or how to save a document. We also do some basic scanning and photocopies. The chairs are just simple plastic ones and the lighting is a bit bright, but it works for looking at screens. We don't sell food, just some bottled water if someone is thirsty. It is a simple place for people who don't have a computer at home or need to print something quickly. It’s been here for a few years now and most of the regulars live just a few blocks away. It is a quiet living.
