Poonam Tent House

We are located over in Sahibabad at DLF Dilshad, Extension 2nd, Bhopura A-80. If you are looking for the place, look for the big stacks of folded chairs and rolls of colored fabric. We spend a lot of our time loading and unloading trucks. During the wedding season, we hardly sleep because someone always needs a tent set up at four in the morning or taken down late at night. It is hard work, lifting the heavy poles and making sure the fabric is tied down right so it doesn't blow away if the wind picks up. We have all kinds of stuff in the warehouse, from the basic white tents to the more colorful ones with decorations. The floor is usually covered in bits of rope and tape. We are just local people trying to help out when there is a party or a big function in the neighborhood. We don't have a big office with air conditioning; we are usually out on the ground working. Our clothes get dusty and we drink a lot of tea to keep going. It’s not a glamorous job, but when the lights go on and the tent is up, it looks alright. We’ve been in Bhopura for a while and most neighbors know us by name. We just show up, do the setup, and get out of the way. If the weather is bad, we have to work double time to keep everything dry and safe for the guests.
