Sagun The Event Planner & Decoration Shop

Our shop is on Rewati Road in Miya Bazar. It's a busy part of Gorakhpur, so there is always a lot of dust and noise from the street. The shelves inside are full of plastic flowers, rolls of shiny cloth, and boxes of fairy lights. It gets really hot in the afternoons, so the ceiling fan is always running. We spend a lot of our time untangling wires or sorting through decorations from the last job. Sometimes people wander in just to ask for directions because we are right there on the main road. It isn’t a fancy place; it’s more of a working shop with stuff piled up in the back. During the wedding season, nobody gets much sleep. We are usually busy loading chairs and fabrics onto a small truck or a rickshaw. The tea guy comes by a few times a day, and we sit on plastic stools to talk about the day's schedule. We keep track of everything in a thick red notebook that’s seen better days. It’s just how we do things here. Some days are slow and we just watch the traffic go by, but other days we can barely find a place to stand because of all the boxes. We’ve been here a while and know most people on the street. It is just the way the shop runs. We don't have a big office or anything, just this space in the market.
