Vansh tent house

Paharganj is a crazy place to run a business. We are tucked away at Multani Dhanda 9615/13. The lanes are so narrow that you can barely fit a bike through some of them, let alone a truck full of tent poles. We have to carry a lot of the gear by hand to the main road. It’s hard work and your back definitely feels it by the end of the day. Vansh tent house is mostly just me and a few workers who have been with us forever. We have these heavy canvas sheets that weigh a ton when they get wet. The storage room smells like old fabric and dust, but it’s home to me. I’ve spent more time in this shop than in my own house. We don’t do any of that modern marketing. People just know we are here. They see the stacks of chairs outside and they stop by. Sometimes we lose a few stakes or a rope snaps, and we have to fix it on the spot. It’s not a perfect system, but it works for us. Paharganj has its own rhythm and we are just a small part of it. We drink a lot of chai and talk to the other shopkeepers while we wait for the next job. It’s a living, and it’s what we know how to do best. We keep the poles sorted and the fabric folded, and we wait for the next call.
