Payal Tent House

We have been doing this for a long time now at Payal Tent House. Our spot is right by the Bhupalpura Nav Nirman Sangh Khadi Gramodyog building. Most days, it is just us sorting through bundles of heavy fabric and making sure the metal poles aren't bent too badly from the last job. It gets really dusty back here in the storage area, but that is how it goes when you deal with outdoor setups. We spend a lot of time loading and unloading the small trucks that come through the narrow gates. Sometimes the ropes get tangled, or a curtain has a small tear we need to fix before it goes out again. People usually stop by when they have a wedding or some function coming up at home. We sit down and talk about how many chairs they actually need versus how many they think they need. It is better to have a few extra just in case someone unexpected shows up. The weather plays a big part in what we do. If it looks like rain, everyone gets a bit nervous about the fabric getting soaked and heavy. We try to keep everything organized, but with so many pipes and pieces of wood, it can get messy. Our neighbors over at the Khadi area see us moving stuff all day long. It is physical work, and our hands are usually a bit rough from the ropes and metal edges. We don't have a big office, just a place where we keep the stuff and talk to customers who walk in.
