while driving in the city on any given day, there are a lotta things that we are used to seeing...
like the regular traffic snarls, the taxis, the buses, the autos (if driving beyond mahim)...the roads are narrower than they should be, bikers keep cutting in, MSRTC signs saying work in progress, concrete being replaced for tiles (someone pls tell me why?), and missing a minor bang up here and there....The usual.
now picture the same scene with a million Nanos thrown in each year!
(long pause)
hey don't get me wrong , I'm all for it , coz it is truly a People's Car and it will definitely bring pride and utility of owning a car to many families who need personal mobility.
But are our city roads equipped to handle the consequences? hmmm.
Post Nano Scenario:-
1) Your maid will need a raise coz she can't afford the fuel (for her new nano ofcourse)
2)Nanos strapped on top of SUVs, as a back up option in case your car breaks down.
3)Bikes are replace by Nanos but the guys driving them still think they are on two wheels! Hence they slant everytime they make a turn. ( you don't even wanna know how they take a U turn!)
4)Just like cell phones, every member of the family has one.
Having said all that I have to admit I'm a little torn. It's truly a great deed to be able to pull of the world's cheapest car, but all the same I am selfish and dreading the consequences.
