Chamunda Mobile Plaza

If you walk down Station Road near the Police line Road, you will find our small mobile shop. It is a busy stretch of road because of all the people going to the train station. We have a glass counter filled with different phone models, mostly the basic ones and some newer smartphones. Most of our day is spent fixing broken screens or helping someone set up their new SIM card. People are always in a hurry here because they have a train to catch or they are finishing work at the police lines. The shop is small and the fan on the ceiling makes a clicking noise that we’ve just gotten used to. We keep a lot of chargers and earphones hanging on the walls because those are the things people lose the most. It gets quite hot in the afternoons when the sun hits the front of the shop directly. We don’t have fancy displays, just the boxes stacked up and some posters for data plans. Sometimes people come in just to ask for directions to the station. We handle repairs right at the back bench with a small soldering iron and some tiny screwdrivers. It’s a lot of sitting and looking at small parts, which can be tiring for the eyes. We just try to get the phones back to their owners as fast as possible so they can stay connected while they travel.
