Blackberry Repair Center

If you walk down toward the Kandivali West Station Road, you will find our place. It is a high-traffic area because of all the people rushing to catch their trains. The noise from the station is constant, but after a few years, you don't even notice the announcements or the whistles anymore. We have a sign out front that has seen better days. Inside, the Blackberry Repair Center is basically a long counter and some stools. We handle a lot of different phones, not just the ones in our name. People bring in devices that are quite old and we try to find the parts for them even if they are hard to get. The drawers are full of old buttons and screens from models that aren't even made anymore. My eyes get tired sometimes from looking at the small screens all day under the lamp. We drink a lot of chai from the guy who carries the kettle around the station area. The floor is made of old tiles that have some cracks in them. We don't have a fancy waiting room, just a couple of chairs pushed against the wall. It’s a practical setup for a busy street. We know the shopkeepers on both sides of us and we often watch each other's stores when someone needs to run an errand. It is a tight-knit spot despite all the strangers passing by every minute of the day.
