Mobile Magic

Mobile Magic is at 423 Gover Road in Raviwar Peth, right in the middle of Cox Town. It is a busy part of town, so there is always noise from the street coming through the open door. We have a lot of small drawers filled with tiny screws and spare parts for all kinds of mobile phones. Sometimes I spend an hour just looking for one specific piece that rolled under the workbench. The shop is a bit cramped, especially when we have three or four people waiting for their phones to be fixed. We have a small bench outside where people can sit if it gets too crowded inside. The walls used to be white but they are more of a gray color now from all the dust. We handle a lot of repairs here, mostly because people are always dropping their phones on the hard roads of Raviwar Peth. It’s a lot of fiddly work with small tools and magnifying glasses. We keep a kettle in the corner for making tea throughout the day because the air conditioning isn't very strong. Gover Road is always moving, but inside 423, we just focus on whatever device is on the table. It is honest work and we have gotten to know most of the neighbors over the years. If you need us, we are usually here from early morning until the street lights come on. I hope we never run out of screen glue.
