Dear Fellow chest-beating Indians! Yes, we seem to have a great step ahead. Hopefully, the car will prove crash-worthy (although lets face it, come what may, any family of 4 will be n-times safer in the Nano than on a motorbike!) and safe! Regardless of what Americans (Amreekans to a lot of us) say, the Nano is awesome. Even if it were stuck together with glue, do remember that the second world war was won by planes patched up with chewing gum! But we do have a potetial problem - a billion tailpipes might be an exaggeration, but I would put my money on a couple of million all right! The problem is compounded with lackadaisical bunch of politicians who have completely let down the tax-paying citizens of the country (please note - emphasis on tax-paying!!!). Can our press please take a trip to Shanghai (sorry - but I had to compare a Mumbai or a Delhi with something!)... and then tell the rest of India what TOWN PLANNING actually means? We are kidding ourselves when we say that INDIA is developing. It is not! Business is developing - not the country! Some of us work 12-14 hours a day to achieve our goals, only to be let down by those idiots in 'synthetic khadi'! The other problem - ONE out of a THOUSAND indian drivers knows traffic rules and etiquette. So here's a solution - quadruple traffic fines, and STICK to them. Policemen will be happier, will get a share of the overall bouyancy, and traffic WILL MOVE! Cheers!
