So Mr. Ratan Tata has delivered on the promise he made some years back (4 years from what I read in newspapers) to us Indians. With the unveiling of 'Tata Nano' on Jan 10,2008 at AutoExpo,2008, he has handed over the 'people's car' to the common people. With a price tag of Rs 1 lakh, its the world's least expensive 4 wheeler. The moment I heard about its launch, I wanted to write a few lines related to it. Not about the car but about the man.
We will have to reserve our judgement on the 'Nano' till the time its ready to drive onto the Indian roads. There are still many miles to go on that. The price which will flare up after including all the taxes that needs to be paid. Everyone has concerns over the safety and fuel emission standards of the car. There are also concerns on the impact of large scale buying of this car on our already poor infrastructure. But lets keep it for others to divulge/discuss/dissect on.
This post is the only way I could think of to salute the man behind the Nano, a man who saw a small family's plight, made a promise to himself and the nation and then had the courage & vision to fulfill it against all sorts of challenges (rising cost, ridicule from his peers and sundry, and loads of technical/financial challenges which I am sure I can't even comprehend).
Whatever happens to Nano, Mr. Tata, you simply rock!!

Commitment is Commitment!
What Ratan Tata promised to Indian to fulfill the dream of ownign a 4-wheeler, He Fulfil his commitment. And sure if the commitment is for betterment it must fulfills. I've the same feelign s with you & yesterday saw a interview of him from where he inspire to make 'nano'. Iy was the Ad of our Old one scooter Bajan ad which was runns a few years back 'munnu-chunnu the papa di gaddi' a family scooter, he tries to convert the family scooter to a 4-wheeler, But anyway its a Good Car. And I think atleast 'Hum to ise BRJN ke main market ki galiyon mein bhi doauda sakte hain...' ;)
Kyon?
--prakash: Hey prakash u r so correct.. it will definitely be a rage there.. :)
Haan woh to hai!
maloom main jab bhi BRJn jaata hoon to market jaane avoid hi karta hoon, gaadi le jaao to jitni door mein park karo utne mein to ghar se paidal hi pahoonch jaao.
isliye 'nano' wahaan ke liye thik rahega.
I m also TATA fan yaar...

There is an aura of this guy which really inspires.
