A Blackberry addict discovers grassroots enterprise in India. (Shekhar Kapur site)




A greater ‘hole in the wall’ you cannot imagine.  A small fading sign on the top saying “Cellphoon reapars”( Mobile Repair) barely visible through the street vendors crowding the Juhu Market in Mumbai. On my way to buy a new Blackberry, my innate sense of adventure (foolishness) made me stop my car and investigate. A shop not more than 6 feet by 6 feet. Grimy and uncleaned.

‘Can you fix a blackberry ?”

‘ Of course , show me”

” How old are you”

‘Sixteen’
