TATA calls this as the car for the common man.

Even though it is the base model that comes for 1 lakh rupees with no-frills like Airconditioning,power steering and power windows it is still a car for four and gives 20 kmpl as said by the company. NANO is Barath stage 3 and Euro 4 compliant. It is 20% bigger than Maruti 800 and has its engine on the rear.
On road price may go upto 1,30,000/- and model with A/C and other features (Blue coloured one) can be around upto 2,00,000/- or more.

Booking has not yet started for this common mans car but there is an immense rush for it. It is expected to be the NEXT BIG thing after the Maruti 800 and its also predicted to have a waiting period of 1or 2 years to reach the consumers hand after booking because of this immense rush.

The car is expected to sale high in the sector of society where people are waiting to get out of their bikes into the cars.

The lack of good and wide roads and pollution hazards are pointed out and protests also started out as there can be a situation of High rise in car population. So the car will be a success only after the issues of Singur factory (the propoesd factory for NANO) is well settled.

Your life - your likes - you decide!!!

Let me tell you all a story

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if hecould ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. And heCame to a point when he had covered a substantial area and both he and the horse were exhausted and was dying.

Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above chineese folkore is similar with the journey of our Life.

We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition.

We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.

Life is definitely not about work!

Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play , Family and Personal time . You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence.

So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
