New Ashok Tent House

Geeta Colony is where we have our base, right at 11/159. This business is mostly about physical labor and being ready for whatever the weather decides to do. We keep all our tents, poles, and heavy fabrics stored here. It is not a very large space, so things are stacked pretty high against the walls. On a typical day, we are either loading up a rickshaw with chairs or trying to dry out the canvas after a rainy event. It is hard work on the back, and we are usually quite tired by the time evening rolls around. We don't really bother with any kind of fancy promotions. Most of our customers are just people from the nearby blocks who have seen us working at other local functions. My brother and a couple of local boys help me out with the heavy lifting. We spend a lot of time fixing tears in the cloth or repainting the metal poles so they don't look too old. The street outside can get very narrow, making it a bit of a struggle to get the bigger trucks in and out. We’ve had some long nights setting up for weddings where things didn’t go exactly to plan, but we always figure it out. It is just a simple neighborhood business that keeps us connected to the people living around here in Geeta Colony. We like the routine of it all.
