A Plus System

Our office is at 101 Barakat Ali Nagar, right in the GTB Nagar area. We are tucked away behind Gurunanak High School, so we hear the kids playing and the bells ringing all through the day. The room is usually full of computer towers, monitors, and tangled wires. It’s not a very organized place, but we know where everything is kept. We spend a lot of time looking at screens and trying to figure out why a system isn't booting up. People from the neighborhood bring in their laptops when they spill something or if the keyboard stops working. A Plus System is just a small setup with a few desks and a lot of spare parts in boxes. Sometimes it’s quiet, and other times we have three or four people waiting in the small space near the door. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the address in Barakat Ali Nagar. The tea guy comes by twice a day, which is when we actually take a break. We fix things as they come in. Sometimes the parts take a few days to arrive, so we have shelves full of machines waiting for their turn. It’s just us working on electronics in a simple room. We don't do much else besides the technical stuff and occasional paperwork for the bills. It’s a steady kind of life here behind the school. We just try to get the machines running again for whoever walks in.
