Makkar Tent House

Raja Park is a busy place, and being right on Govind Marg at 60/61 means we see a lot of what happens in this neighborhood. We’ve been running the tent house here for a while, dealing with all the poles, heavy fabrics, and decorations that go into making a space look different. It’s hard work, mostly because the stuff is heavy and the weather doesn't always cooperate with our schedules. Sometimes we are out late at night packing things up, and other times we are up before the sun to get started. The warehouse gets pretty messy with all the ropes and folded cloths piled up, and sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly what a person is looking for. We don't have a big office or anything like that, just a desk where we handle the paperwork. People come in from all over the area because they know we are reliable enough to get things where they need to go. It’s not glamorous work, and our hands are usually a bit dirty from moving the iron frames. We've seen a lot of changes on Govind Marg over the years, new shops opening and old ones closing, but we just stay here doing our thing. It’s a steady life. Sometimes the trucks get stuck in the narrow lanes, but we always figure out a way. We just keep moving one day at a time.
