Balaji Mobile Care

We are set up in Choudhary Khartaram Market, right on College Road. Since we are so close to the college, we get a lot of students coming in. They usually have cracked screens from dropping their phones or they want the latest colorful back cover. The market is always crowded and noisy, especially in the afternoons when classes are over. Our shop is quite narrow, so we have to keep everything organized on high shelves. We’ve got a big counter in the front where we do most of the talking. I’ve been working here for three years now, and I’ve seen some phones come back four or five times for different repairs. Students are always in a rush, so they’re always asking if their phone will be ready in an hour. We try our best, but sometimes parts take time to arrive. The light in the shop is a bit bright because we need to see the tiny screws inside the phones. We keep a box of spare parts that’s grown quite large over time. The landlord of the market is a nice guy who stops by once a week for a chat. We have a small stool behind the counter that squeaks every time I move. It’s a busy little spot, and there’s never a dull moment with the college crowd around. We just keep our heads down and keep working through the pile of phones.
