Computer shopping at Nehru Place
A visit to Nehru Place takes Jenny and Dave to the world of pirated software,old VGA monitors and cheap computer accessories:
All levels of retail sophistication have a presence at Nehru Place, from mom-and-pop-run closets stuffed with 1990’s VGA monitors to gleaming showrooms featuring shiny new brands. I got my Apple power adapter repaired in a shadowy twelve-by-twelve explosion of wires and motherboards and empty cases; the guy who actually did the work was perched in a wooden loft, surrounded by tools, his head mere inches from the ceiling. His effort set me back three dollars, and extended the life of my power adapter exactly one week before it failed for good.

It would be nice if you gave credit to the website where the article/link/post was discovered. This link was posted on BoingBoing in the morning and curiously appears on DP later on.

M&M, hmmm…considering we had linked to the same blog just a week back, I would’ve assumed Nikhil has it on his blogroll. But you curiously chose to think otherwise.

Thanks for fixing the link.
@M&M
I have this blog in my reader,but I landed on this post via technorati and having the same featured on BB does not make it a pariah for DP.
Incidentally, I am subscribed to BB as well.
