Swarupa Tent House

Living and working in Thimmarainipahad means you see a lot of the same faces every day. Our place at H. No -4-112 is usually stacked high with folded tents and those heavy metal poles that are a pain to carry in the heat. We spend a lot of time in the back of the truck, driving around Chennaraopet to set things up. It isn't easy work, especially when the wind starts blowing while you're trying to tie down a big piece of cloth. My back usually aches by Friday, but that is just part of the job. We have plenty of chairs too, though they need a good dusting every time they come back from a function. People in Warangal like their celebrations big, so we stay busy enough. Sometimes we are out there in the middle of the night just to make sure everything is ready for the morning. It gets quiet out here once the sun sets, and that is usually when we finally head home. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. Just a shed for the gear and a phone that rings at odd hours. If someone needs a pandal for a wedding or a small gathering, they know where to find us. It’s just us doing what needs to be done to make sure the event has some shade and a place for people to sit down.
