Tata Nano


TATA rocks the world by introducing the Ultra Cheap Low cost Mini Car Tata Nano for Rs 1 lakh (2500 $). This was mentioned as People's Car by TATA. Few years back when Maruti Launched its first Maruti 800, It was huge hit in Indian automotive markets. This Nano is 625 cc , 5 seater, Hatch back car, with good ground clearance to suit to Indian roads.

TATA is targeting the people who were using still the 2-wheelers (Motorbikes). People who are spending Rs 60K on the Motorbikes will need to give a thought about the Nano.

This has really shaken the US, Germany and Japanese Auto Hubs. This is also having great potential in Chinese market. People are wondering about the price of the car because High end Car Infotainment System is around costing 2400$ (roughly).

I don't know what will happen in Bangalore if the Two Wheelers are replaced with Tata Nano, I think we need to walk to office. :-)

Ooo Haaa India

Ooo haa India, aaa ya India.....!!
After world cup started, most of the match was played was not interesting as it was played with minnows (like countries playing for the first time). Even there were many controversial statements that whether these minnows should be allowed to played in worldcup or not.

Few commented that this should be avoided as this reduces the interest in worldcup matches. Few supported that we should give them chance so that they could gain the confident(like Kenya which came until semifinal in last world cup). Until yesterday, results of the all matches favoured Senior Team. Almost all cases, senior teams slaughtered the minnows team with above 300 plus.

Like every Indian, I was also excited to see the first match of India against Bangladesh. I was very confident that we will have a convincing victory. Once Sehwag fell in single digit as usual, I thought that he needs some rest now and needs to work on basics.The first fifteen overs really shook the Indian top order which was really considered as Great line-up.I too waited for the bowling change as considered that may be after fifteen overs will change. But then i concluded that our batting is really struggling against the Bangladesh bowling attack. Bangladesh Team's fielding was excellent and boundaries were dried up for India.After Yuvraj had gone, wickets fell very rapidly. India faced worse defeat in world cup history. I really dunno what was in mind of our cricket team before playing the match. Is it because of Over-confidence ? Over hype to Indian team by media ? Very high expectation cause the pressure to all team members ?. Lost is lost always, Is there anyway that India could sustain its position in Super 8's ? Does Indian team will take responsible to come into Super 8's ? Does India team repeat the same which happened in previous world cup (9 win after first match defeat )?

Yesterday, PAK bid farewell from world cup after its humiliating defeat.India needs to have this in the mind. Only way is to excel in every part of the game. Hope India team comes out of this trauma of defeat. Let's see on Friday ....!!

Tit Bits

- Recently watched a stage performance by Indo-Japanese comedian in US. He describes his Indian Uncle as Racist. you know why ? Coz His uncle wants his daughter to get marry a guy from same part of india other wise he will kill her daughter and sucide himself.

- Read in a weekly magazine that few poor people of village in Madhya Pradesh make their living by carrying the Human waste. Daily they need to collect the Human waste for the whole village and dispose it somewhere , to earn 4 chappathi's daily. This is really height of poverty.

NOIDA's Shame - Nithari Killings

NOIDA, popularly known as Satellite town, belongs to NCR (National Capital Region, surrounding New Delhi), Industrial Area, one of few planned city in India (next to Chandigarh) and considered to be good residential area.

Nithari Killings had really shocked everyone across the globe. Series of crimes really rocked the security concerns in Noida.Few months back when a famous kid was kidnapped, there was an article on Noida additional pages of famous National daily revealing that more than 15 kids were disappeared in Nithari(Nithari is small village before Noida was planned, after that its part of Sector 31 of Noida, Mostly people in Nithari were Rickshaw pullers and servants) and seeking the answer from police.But no response from them at that time.

One of my friend's servant maid was from Nithari whose sister is mother of Bina(13), who was the one of the victim. Bina disappeared in the mind 2005. Though her parents went to complain many times, they didn't get proper response. Once culprits in D5,Sec 31 were nabbed by the police, Bina's dress and chapel helped their parents identify her remains(very pathetic). Another victim is 3 yr old boy, who was asked by his lame father to get something from the shop (opp to their house), disappeared.The list goes on. Till now, no one exactly knows how many kids were victims , what happened to them and who were involved in this.

Even few statements were really surprising after the Narco test. Hope CBI will identifies everyone involved in this crime.May we cud have save more life, if police had alerted few months back.

May we all pray for the souls to rest in peace and words to victim's parents.Lets all hope that incident like this wont occur in future.This had been compared with Anthony Hopkins "The Silence of the lambs" movie.
