Nano - small car... big dreams !!!
Launch of "Nano" - (new 1 lac car) by Ratan Tata was a frontpage news on almost all newspapers. Ratan Tata mentioned it was a promise made by Tatas to the people of India. Moment Nano was launched there was lot of controversy surrounding it, which made it even bigger event.
Some people said it should we banned in Mumbai, since all Rickshaw owners might replace their rickshaws with Nano. There is hardly 10-15k difference in price. Question is are you ready for Nano as a replacement to rickshaw. IMO, it would be interesting.
I definitely think this car will fulfill the dream of many lower middle class of owing a car. There were some speculations regarding safety of Nano. But i guess any car that satisfies Euro safety norms should be considered safe.
Only concern about Nano, since is offered at very much afforded price, lot of people buying this vehicle will lead to increase in traffic levels. It is just going to worsen the current bad traffic condition.
Everything thing has some good / bad side, Nano is not an exception. So i guess some people will like to have this car and for those who don't should stay away. In my opinion Nano will be a good city vehicle, being small in size easy to park :)
To end i would say only future will tell if this car will be successful or end up like other small cars like Matiz.

NO HORN PLEASE !!!
My house is very close to a famous school. There is a clear Traffic Sign for "No horn", but in spite of that every morning I wake up with loud noise of car / rickshaw horns. On a narrow road when there is complete block everyone just loves to honk. I can't understand this. You can clearly see vehicle next to you can't move a inch, but still people keep honking impatiently.
Another such case is at Traffic Signals. When you can see Red Signal, vehicle drivers just love to honk. I can't understand what pleasure one gets by this. I know everyone is in a hurry, but one also needs to obey basic traffic rules. I usually commute by bus and I can't tell you how irritating it is at traffic signals. Traveling in crowded buses, you have conductor shouting to move forward and the honk is just perfect to spoil the beginning of the day.
Why can't we be more responsible. I think while driving we should be careful when to honk and most important when not to. We don't understand the amount of noise pollution caused by our careless attitude or should I say our ignorance.
I just plea to people who drive/ride, No Horn Please !!!!!!
