Quon Computers

Bodinayakanur is where we've set up shop. Quon Computers is located at No:83/89 on Periyandavar Kovil Street. If you’re looking for us, we’re quite close to the Meenakshi Theatre. You can usually tell when a movie has just finished because the street fills up with people and bikes. It gets quite loud then. We spend our days tinkering with computers and laptops. Most of the time, it's just hardware issues or software that won't behave. The shop isn't very big, so we have to stack the monitors on top of each other. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we haven't found the time to do it yet. There’s an old wooden desk where I sit, and it creaks every time I move. We have a small fan that wobbles on its stand, but it’s a lifesaver when the sun is out. A lot of folks from the nearby houses come in with their kids' school computers. We do what we can to get them working again. Sometimes we have to wait for parts to arrive from the city, which can take a few days. We just let people know and they’re usually okay with it. It’s a simple way to make a living. We know everyone on the street by now, from the vegetable seller to the guy who runs the pharmacy across the way. We keep things going as best as we can.
