Hindustan Windows Mfg Co

In the Natagarh area of Sodepur, over in the 24 Parganas North district, we spend our days making windows. The address is Mahendranagar, and you can usually hear the sound of saws or metal hitting metal long before you get to our door. Being Hindustan Windows Mfg Co means we are always surrounded by glass, frames, and plenty of dust. Kolkata gets very humid, and in our workshop, you definitely feel it when you are working with the materials. We have piles of aluminum and wood sections waiting to be cut to size for the next job. Our hands are usually a bit dirty from the grease and the metal shavings. It is a small operation where we all know how to do a bit of everything. There is a lot of measuring and double-checking because a window that doesn't fit right is just a waste of time for everyone. We have a few old benches where we sit for our tea breaks and talk about the local football matches or family stuff. The building isn't much to look at from the outside, but inside we are busy from start to finish. We take things as they come and try to stay on top of the orders that the local builders send our way. It’s practical work for people who don’t mind getting their hands a little rough at the end of the day.
