Shree Balaji Tent House

Starting at Shree Balaji Tent House near Jhotwara Khatipura Circle isn't always easy but we’ve been here a good while now. Most days start pretty early because the sun gets real hot around this part of Jaipur by noon. We spend a lot of time checking our poles and making sure the fabric hasn't gotten too dusty from the traffic near the circle. It’s a busy spot, you know? There is always noise from the scooters and trucks passing by our place. We just focus on getting things loaded up on the trolley when someone has a function coming up. Sometimes the ropes get tangled or a bulb breaks, and we just fix it and keep moving. It's just me and a couple of local guys usually. We don't have a fancy office or anything like that. Just the warehouse and the equipment we've picked up over the years. My father used to say that people just want their shade and their chairs on time, so that's what we try to do. We know most of the families around Jhotwara because we've probably set up a tent for one of their weddings or a small puja at some point. The address is 39178, right there where everyone passes through. It’s a simple life. We drink a lot of tea while waiting for the next truck to come back. It isn't much, but it's what we do every single day here.
