Gopinath Motor & Tractor

This is Gopinath Motor & Tractor. We sit near the Hill Palace over in Chithrapuzha, Thripunithura. It's a nice enough spot, though traffic can get a bit heavy during the rush hours. People stop by when they have issues with their machines or just need to ask a question about their tractors. We have a lot of parts lying around the shop. It might look a bit messy to an outsider, but we know where everything is kept. The area around Hill Palace is familiar to everyone in Thripunithura, so we don't have to give directions too often. We’ve seen many different types of motors come through these doors. Some are old and rusted, some are newer, but we look at them all the same. It's just honest work. We don't have a fancy website or a big marketing team. It’s just us here at the shop. The floor has some oil stains on it, which is expected for a motor place. We start early when the air is still a bit cool. Sometimes local farmers drop by just to chat for a minute. We like the community feel of being in Chithrapuzha. There is always something to fix or a bolt that needs tightening. We keep the tools organized mostly. It’s a simple way to make a living and we’ve been doing it this way for a long time now. The rain sometimes leaks a little near the back door when the monsoon is heavy, but we just move the equipment out of the way. It is an old building, but it has character.
