Shri Krishana Tent House

Our shop is in Arvind Nagar, specifically at V-151/5. It is right in the lane with the Shiv Mandir, so it is quite a central spot for the locals. Being in the tent business means our life goes in cycles. During the wedding season, we hardly sleep. We are out there loading poles and heavy cloth onto the rickshaws at all hours of the night. It is hard work on the back, and our hands are always a bit rough from the ropes. When it is not the busy season, we spend our time fixing the tears in the fabric or painting the metal pipes so they don't rust. We sit on the stools outside the shop and watch the people going to the temple. It is a nice way to pass the time. The shop itself is packed to the ceiling with folded chairs and rolls of carpet. It looks like a mess to anyone else, but we know exactly where every single piece is kept. My younger brother handles the accounts, mostly writing things down in a big ledger that is falling apart at the edges. We don't use computers for any of this. It is all done by hand. We have been in this spot for a long time and everyone in the colony knows us by name. We just provide what people need for their functions and try to keep things simple.
