Tata Nano

The party on the 31st of December was pretty dull by standards that we once had a couple of years back. Now, what sort of a New Year Bash is one where everyone sits around playing tambola and GK! We could get started on the dance floor only at 1215 - 15 minutes into the New Year. Anyway, it was better than sitting at home. It was after we began to dance that we felt the warmth of the New Year.

The Tata Nano was launched a couple of days back. Much has been written about the threat that looms over the Indian firmament, about how this car is a threat to Indian roads, of how it would add to the pollution and to the congestion. But how many of us have given a thought to how it would satisfy the aspirations of the average indian middle class family? For people like us who don't come across much of congestion or pollution and who would certainly want to save on the cost of buying a car bigger than the Maruti 800, the Nano is most certainly welcome.
