Uttarpara Photosophicals

[btirthankar]

Fellow Patrons, of all the wonderful places in India, I present you this time:

Uttarpara, a laid back De-Industrialized Town in West Bengal.

Now this place does have an Automotive Connection. Here is where the Ambys are 'hammered and wrenched' to life.

I have expressed some ideas that the photos depict,

its a two-in-one post.

1. Those who can understand what is written, alls fine.
2. But for those who cannot, just enjoy the photos.

Lol. Very nice narration. Felt like watching some nice advert.

The testing track is brilliant. International standards for suspension systems. No wonder ambys are so comfy

Great pics, BT. Your posts never fail to entertain me!

I had been to Uttarpara some years back, and guess what, its still the same!

I thought the next station "HIND MOTOR" better fits the bill. How about a Hind Motor Photoblog next time?

yes. world class track for world class suspension systems. Those days, I heard the Ambys were driven to all over India by road and their suspensions overhauled at the destination dealerships.

"HIND MOTOR" is sure the next station, but the Factory actually spans between Uttarpara and "HIND MOTOR"

I knew that this post will be enjoyed by those who have been there. I enjoyed writing about this as much as you liked them.

Now that was something refreshingly different. Great work dada, maan gaye, hoping to see some equally nostalgic photos of the Amby plant, canteen, office etc as well, devoid of any modern day computers, CnCs, air conditioned offices, just plain, simple manufacturing with a touch of "red" in it.

Oh !!! HM !! so nice to see a travelogue on Uttarpara and pics of my beloved HM and its testing track !!
I was born in HM, stayed for 19 years in HM colony and did my BE industrial training in Hindustan Motors too !!!

What a sight man, watching those white ambys and trekkers run at full throttle on these tracks !!

Wow, the world is not just small, its intricately knitted as well, with intertwined memoirs. I can understand how you feel.

I had taken a site visit but was not allowed to take photos inside.

BTW Its been exactly a year that I took these photos. The remoteness of the topic itself made me wonder then whether anybody will see it at all? My beliefs are reaffirmed now, after reading feedbacks like these.
