nGrowing up, we never had a car. So, when I bought my first car with my very own savings, I can’t explain how proud I felt ? even though it was a second-hand car. It was almost 12 years ago and I remember it being a good old Ambassador in gleaming white. I chose to go with an Ambassador because first and foremost, it’s a tough, hardy car, perfect for Calcutta’s pothole-riddled roads. Secondly, nothing could beat the Ambassador when it came to spaciousness ? there were no Qualis’ and Scorpios then.

I had my ‘Amby’ for over two years and have many fond memories of it. That was the first time we could enjoy the comfort of mobility, without having to depend on taxis and we went everywhere in our car. We even took long drives in it down to our farmhouse in Ahmedpur in Birbhum. I really loved my Amby, so much so that later, I bought an all-new one.
