Kamala Decorater & Caterer

We operate out of Aurobinda Nagar, near Jadavpur University. The address is 1/22 B. Kamala Decorater & Caterer is mostly a business of moving things from one place to another. We have stacks of plastic chairs, rolls of colored cloth, and big cooking pots piled up in our storage space. Most days we are loading or unloading a rickshaw or a small van for an event. My clothes usually have a bit of dust or glitter on them from the decor work we do. We go to people's houses or local community halls to set things up for parties and weddings. It’s not a glamorous job by any means. We spend hours tying fabric to bamboo poles or setting up heavy tables in the heat. Then there is the food part to manage. We cook in big batches, and the smell of oil and spices is always around our small office area. Jadavpur is a crowded area, so navigating the narrow lanes with all our equipment is always a struggle. We don't have a fancy website or a big office for meetings. People usually just find us by walking into the shop or hearing about us from a neighbor who used us before. We have been doing this for years, and it’s just what we do every day. Sometimes a lightbulb in a decoration string breaks and we have to fix it on the spot. It’s just the daily grind of keeping things going.
