Radisson Hotel, New Delhi

Even though the name says New Delhi, we are actually located out here in Hathira, which is in the Kurukshetra district of Haryana. It's quite a bit of a drive from the main city. We've got a staff that mostly comes from the nearby villages. Running a hotel in this area is different from being in the middle of a big metro. It's much quieter. Every morning we have to check the rooms and the kitchen to make sure everything is ready for whoever might be stopping by. It’s a lot of physical work. Cleaning, fixing leaky taps, and making sure the lights work are daily chores. We spend a lot of time just maintaining the place because dust gets everywhere in this district. People come through for various reasons, some just passing through Haryana on their way somewhere else. The local vibe is very different here than in Delhi. We try to keep the place tidy but it's a big building to look after for a small crew. Sometimes the internet is a bit spotty because of the rural location. We just deal with it. It’s not a glamorous life, just making sure guests have a place to sleep and something to eat. We are right there in V.P.O-Hathira. Most of us have been working here for a few years now. We know the roads around here well. It's a steady job for most of the local guys who work here with us.
