M U Decorators

If you head down to Baiganwadi in Trombay, you will find us on Gajanan Kiran Street. This area is pretty packed with small businesses and homes all mixed together. Our space is where we store all the stuff for the events we decorate. There are bundles of fabric, stacks of plastic chairs, and rolls of carpet taking up most of the room. It’s a bit of a maze inside sometimes. We spend our mornings loading up the small trucks with lights and flowers for whatever wedding or party is happening that day. It is hard work, especially when the weather is hot, but we’ve been doing it for a long time. The street outside is usually muddy or dusty, depending on the season, and there is always someone shouting or a bike zooming past. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. We mostly just sit on the crates or at a small metal desk to figure out the schedules. People from the neighborhood come by when they have a family function coming up. We talk through what they need while the neighborhood kids play in the street outside. It is a very local operation. We know the shortcuts through the narrow lanes around Trombay to get the gear delivered on time. It is just a plain, hardworking shop that serves the people living around here. We just try to keep things organized as best as we can.
