Modern Tele Touch

Down here on Bhatar Road in Andheri, we’ve got our shop, Modern Tele Touch. Despite the name, we aren't all that modern in how we run things. It’s just a small space packed with phones and wires. I spend most of my day sitting at the back bench with a magnifying glass, looking at circuit boards. My wife helps out at the front counter when she’s not busy with the kids. We’ve been at 211 for nearly a decade. The area has gotten much busier, and the rent keeps going up, but we stay because of the regular customers who come back every time they drop their phone. We don't do any big advertising. Most people just see the sign when they are walking to the station. Sometimes the air conditioner makes a weird rattling noise, and the lighting is a bit dim, but it works for us. We handle repairs, sell some basic accessories, and try to help people figure out why their apps aren't working. It’s a bit of a squeeze when there are more than three customers in the shop at once. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to make sure the people in Andheri have a place to get their tech sorted out. We're usually here from morning until late evening most days of the week. It is just a regular life here on Bhatar Road, fixing one screen at a time for our neighbors.
