Nano, The new car model from TATA

Come monsoons, and the most common sight on the road would be that of whole families, complete with the husband, wife and two or more small kids, squeezed together in a motorbike or scooter, trying to ward off the torrents by means of a raincoat or umbrella, wavering dangerously in the wind! With the state of the roads these days, it is a marvel that they all get home in one piece!

well.. looks like such scenes will soon be coming to an end, because, of the arrival of NANO, the new family car model from the house of the TATA's. It is supposed to be a five seater, with the engine positioned at the back. Tata claims it has a mileage of 20 km/ltr, which is indeed great, in Indian roads. Since it's unveiling a couple of days back at the international auto expo at New Delhi, The Nano has been the main talk of the town, primarily due to it's low pricing of Rs. One Lakh! Guess the common man's prayers have been answered...Let us wait and watch out for this tiny wonder.

Thenmala Tales (Part 4)

At one point, Maneesh made us all stand very still so that we could hear a faint, whooshing sound which he said was the flap of the ears of an elephant some distance away.
