Nimantran Vatika

If you take a turn onto Sheetla Mata Road in Sector 5, you’ll find Nimantran Vatika. It’s a big open space that we use for all sorts of gatherings. Mostly, it’s weddings and local functions where people need a lot of room for their guests to eat and dance. We’ve got the green grass and the stage area which we try to keep in good shape, though the Gurgaon dust makes that a full-time job. I’m usually there early in the morning checking if the cleaners did their work or seeing if the water supply is okay for the day's event. It’s a lot of coordination with the decorators and the lighting guys who come in with their trucks and wires. Sometimes the neighbors complain if the music is too loud late at night, so I have to keep an eye on the volume. It’s not a five-star hotel, but it’s a solid, honest place where families have been celebrating for years. We’ve seen hundreds of brides and grooms walk through those gates. The kitchen area is basic but large enough for the big catering teams to set up their burners. When there’s no event, the place feels very quiet and empty, which is a nice break from the usual noise. I spend my time fixing broken tiles or painting the walls to keep things looking decent for the next family that books the space. It’s just how we run things here on Sheetla Mata Road.
