Manish Computer

Manish Computer has been in Gidderbaha for a long time. We’re in Roshan Market, right near the Punjab National Bank. It’s easy to find us if you’re heading toward the center of town. The shop is full of monitors, keyboards, and tangled cables. We spend most of our time fixing laptops or helping someone print out documents. Muktsar district can get pretty dusty, so we are always wiping down the screens. It’s just a regular local shop. There is no air conditioning, just a big ceiling fan that wobbles a little. We have stools for people to sit on while they wait. Often, kids come in looking for gaming parts or someone’s uncle needs a virus removed. We don’t use a lot of technical jargon. We just tell you what’s wrong and how long it will take to fix. Sometimes the parts take a few days to arrive from the city. We keep a ledger for all the repairs we do. It’s a manual way of doing things but it works for us. The market is always noisy with tractors and motorcycles passing by. We like being part of the bustle. People know they can find us here from ten in the morning until late evening. It’s not a fancy life, but we like working with computers and seeing people leave happy when their machines finally turn back on.
