Manoj Mobile Care

Manoj Mobile Care is situated in Jamalpur Chowk, inside the Shree Mahalaxmi Market. It’s a very lively area. There is always a lot of noise and movement outside the shop. I’ve been fixing phones at this same spot for a long time. The shop is quite small, just enough for me and my workbench. I have a lot of plastic bins filled with spare parts and old circuit boards. To some, it might look like a mess, but I have my own system for finding things. Most of my work involves fixing screens or dealing with phones that have been dropped in water. I use a small lamp and some tweezers for most of the day. The market has its own special feel. I get my tea from a small stall nearby and we chat about the day's events. I don’t have any fancy advertising or a big neon sign. My sign is just hand-painted on a piece of wood. I keep a simple notebook to track the repairs I’m working on. It’s better than a computer for me. The shop gets quite warm in the summer months because there isn't much airflow. But I enjoy the work and the people who come in. I try to be honest with them about whether a phone is worth the cost of repair. It’s just a regular day-to-day job for me at the chowk.
