Saravana Computers

People usually find us on Dhandapani Chetty Street right here in Thirupadiri Puliyur. It is a busy little spot and we have been at number 1 for a while now. Most days it is just us surrounded by open computer cases and some spare parts that we haven't found a place for yet. We spend a lot of time looking at screens and trying to figure out why someone’s laptop stopped making noise or why a desktop is running so slow. Sometimes it gets a bit loud with the traffic outside but we just keep working. The shop isn't fancy. There are cables tangled in the corner and sometimes the power goes out so we just wait it out. People from the neighborhood drop by with their old machines and we see what we can do. It’s mostly just hardware stuff and fixing things that break. We don't have a big team or anything, just a couple of us who know our way around a motherboard. The shelves are mostly full of keyboards and some old monitors we keep for parts. It stays pretty dusty because of the street but that is just how it is around here. We open up in the morning and stay until the work is mostly done for the day. The tea guy comes by around eleven and that's usually our break. We talk about the weather or how the street is getting more crowded. It’s a simple life at Saravana Computers.
