Evergreen Motels

Evergreen Motels is at Plot No. B 173 A. We are inside the Eldeco Sidcul Industrial Park in U.S. Nagar. It’s pretty close to the MTNL office. If you see their big building, you’re almost at our place. The motel is a bit tucked away between some factories. We get a lot of workers and drivers staying the night. I work the front desk mostly. It’s a small desk with a computer that takes forever to start up. The rooms are basic, just a bed and a small TV. We try to keep the sheets clean and the floors swept. The industrial park can be noisy at night with the trucks rumbling past. I usually have a radio playing low to drown it out. My wife helps with the laundry in the mornings. We have a small kitchen where we make tea for the guests. Sometimes the plumbing acts up in the back rooms. I have to go back there with a wrench and figure it out. It’s not a fancy hotel, just a place to sleep. Evergreen Motels has been here since the park opened. We know most of the neighbors, like the guards at the MTNL office. We just stay busy with the daily chores. It’s a living. We don’t have much to brag about, just a roof and some walls at B 173 A. The street lamp outside flickers, but it helps people find the turn in the dark. We just keep the doors open and wait for travelers. It’s mostly quiet during the daytime when the shift starts.
