Bhati Mobile Sales & Service Store

The shop is located out on Sardar Samand Road. It’s a long stretch of road and we get a lot of people stopping by who are just passing through. The dust is a real problem because of all the trucks, so we are constantly wiping down the glass displays. We sell a mix of basic phones and some newer models, plus all the usual chargers and earphones. The back of the shop is where the repair work happens. It’s a small desk with a magnifying lamp and a soldering iron. I spend a lot of time hunched over that desk trying to fix charging ports. My hands are usually a bit dirty from the work. We have a small TV in the corner that’s usually tuned to the news or some old movie to pass the time when it’s slow. The door stays open most of the day, so we see everything that happens on the road. Occasionally, a cow will wander too close and we have to shoo it away. It’s just me and my younger brother running the place. We take turns going for lunch so the shop is never empty. It’s a simple business. We don’t have fancy uniforms or anything like that. We just sit here, fix what’s broken, and talk to whoever walks in. It’s a long day from nine to nine, but it’s what we do.
