Salasar Tent House

Our place, Salasar Tent House, is located out on Kalwar Road in Jhotwara. It's a busy stretch of road and we’ve been here for quite a while now. Running a tent house means we spend a lot of time out of the office, but this is our main base where we keep all the poles, fabrics, and chairs. It gets pretty crowded in the warehouse area when all the gear is back from a job. We spend most of our days checking the tents for any tears or cleaning the carpets after a big event. It’s hard work, especially when it’s hot outside, which is most of the time here. We have a small crew and we all know each other well. People from the nearby colonies come to us when they have a wedding or a small function at home. We don’t do any big advertising; people just see our trucks moving around Jhotwara or they hear about us from their neighbors. Sometimes we’re working late into the night to get everything loaded for the next morning. It’s a bit of a messy business with all the dust and the heavy lifting, but it’s what we do. The shop itself is simple, just a place to talk to people and figure out what they need for their gatherings. We’ve seen a lot of families grow up in this area over the years we’ve been on Kalwar Road. We just keep our heads down and do the work.
