Bhawani Bettery & Electronic Sarvice

Our little workshop is on Mandia Road and it’s usually full of wires and old circuit boards. We do a lot of battery work but also look at various electronic gadgets that people bring in when they stop working. The workbench is always a mess with screwdrivers and soldering irons lying around. It is hard to keep it clean when you are constantly opening up machines. Mandia Road is a busy stretch so there is always noise from trucks and bikes outside. Sometimes we have to shout a bit to be heard over the traffic. We don't really have a set routine, it just depends on what breaks down that day. Some days it is all about fixing fans and other days we are just charging up big lead-acid batteries. The smell of hot solder is always in the air here. We have a couple of stools for people to sit on if they want to wait, but most folks just drop their stuff off and come back later. It’s practical work and it keeps our hands dirty. We try to be honest about what can be fixed and what is just junk. It’s just us here working through the pile of repairs and trying to stay ahead of the heat. We get some tea from the stall next door and keep at it until the sun goes down. It’s not much but it’s our trade.
