The Nano, pretty nice isn’t it? no not the iPod, but the new Tata’s 1 lac People’s Car. I think the Tata’s have done a super splendid job, almost close to a miracle bringing out this marvel of engineering. The world shouted that it was not possible, but leave it to an Indian to make a paisa vasool product, the Chinese will do it too, but the product might just cause you to die of lead poisoning … hehe.

Today’s day definitely belonged to the Tatas’, the engineers who made it all possible. Ratan Tata deserves a standing ovation for taking up the challenge to build a ‘car’ for 100,000 Rs.

The biggest challenge for this car was to look like a car, and by god, she does. Infact I think, she aced the looks department. It looks pretty trendy. And if it can survive a wife, two bustling kids, and a bag of groceries, than I have no reason to doubt why this car will not rewrite automotive history. Apart from being esthetically pleasing to the eye, it meets all the safety norms, Bharat Stage-III emission norms and can also meet the Euro 4 norms.

It indeed is a historic day for India, and Indians all over. Today we gift the world, the cheapest car!
