New Hariom Tent House & Cateres

We operate out of Sector 19 in Pratap Nagar, specifically at 192/347. This isn’t a shop like the others; it’s more of a warehouse full of stuff for events. My name is tied to New Hariom Tent House & Caterers. Most of the time, I’m out in the back checking the condition of the large colorful tents or making sure the metal poles aren't rusted. We have heaps of chairs stacked up, maybe hundreds of them, all covered in dust sheets when they aren't being used. It’s heavy work, loading everything onto the trucks when someone has a wedding or a big prayer meeting. My clothes are usually stained with a bit of grease or dirt from the field sites. I also handle the catering side, so there are these massive iron cauldrons and long stirring spoons that look like paddles. I spend a lot of time on the phone, talking to people about how many guests they’re having and what kind of setup they need. It’s a bit chaotic here, with piles of fabric in one corner and gas cylinders in another. There’s always something that needs fixing, like a tear in a canopy or a broken leg on a table. It’s not a glamorous job, especially when we have to set up in the heat or rain. But it’s what we do. People come to this part of Pratap Nagar to find us because they know we have the gear they need for their celebrations. It's a busy life.
