Modern Pools

Modern Pools is located at Shop No. 230 in the Viman Darashan building, over in Sanjay Park, Lohgaon. It’s a small shop tucked into the corner of the building. When you walk in, you’ll see stacks of pool filters, long cleaning poles, and containers of chlorine. It doesn't look like much of a showroom; it’s more of a storage spot for our equipment. Most of the day, we aren't even in the shop because we are out at different sites cleaning or fixing things. We spend a lot of time in the sun, so most of us have pretty good tans. The shop is where we meet in the morning to load up the vans and check the schedule. It’s a bit messy with hoses and pump parts lying around. Sometimes a customer drops by to buy some chemicals, but mostly we deal with people over the phone. The area around Sanjay Park is usually busy with people going towards the airport, so traffic can be a pain. We have a small desk where we keep the invoices and a very old computer that we use for the accounts. It’s a straightforward business. We deal with water, pumps, and tiles every day. It’s not a glamorous job, especially when you’re scrubbing a pool in the heat, but it’s what we do. We just make sure everything is running right before we head back to the shop.
