Javed Decorator & Wedding Hall

Things stay pretty hectic at Mumbai G.P.O. 1 where we keep all the supplies for Javed Decorator & Wedding Hall. It’s a lot of hauling heavy chairs and folding tables in and out of trucks. You wouldn't believe how much fabric we have stored away in the back. Most of the time, we are just checking to see if the lights still work or if the drapes need another cleaning. The wedding season is always the craziest, and the shop feels like a whirlwind then. We spend hours untangling fairy lights and making sure the gold paint on the pillars isn't chipping. It’s physical work, and by the end of the day, everyone is pretty tired. The area around the G.P.O. is always moving, so we have to be quick with loading everything up. We don’t really have a big office, just a desk covered in notes and old invoices. It’s mostly about getting the decorations to the right place on time. We’ve seen all kinds of weddings, from the small ones to the really loud ones that go on all night. It’s just what we do here in this part of town. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s quiet and watch the people go by. It’s a decent living, even if the work is heavy and the hours are long. We just make sure the curtains are straight and the chairs are ready for the next party.
