Ravi Computer

You can find us at number 24-B in Anand Park, which is part of the Chramaliya Gokuldham Complex. It’s near Surendra Nagar, so we get people from all over this side of town. The shop itself is pretty straightforward. We have a lot of cables, old hard drives, and different computer parts sitting around on the shelves. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but we know where everything is kept. Most of the work we do involves fixing PCs that have slowed down or need some kind of hardware update. We don't really have a sales pitch or anything. People just bring their towers or laptops in, we take a look, and tell them what’s going on. It’s a practical kind of business. The complex can be a bit confusing if it’s your first time here, but once you find the Anand Park section, we’re right there. We spend most of our time at the back bench with a screwdriver in hand. It’s quiet for the most part, except for the sound of cooling fans running. We’ve seen computers change a lot over the years, from those big white boxes to the slim laptops people use now. We just keep doing what we’ve been doing, one repair at a time. It’s a living, and it keeps us busy enough throughout the week. We try to be here every day except when something comes up.
