TaTa NaNo Not a ProbLem
I am having nightmares of seeing Nano’s everywhere and not even having space to walk. Is Nano a Curse on human civilization unveiled by Ratan Tata?
I thought a lot about it and then decided Naa! Its cool to have a Nano.
The Nano is a perfect second car for the middle class family and first car for those who presently start with second hand cars.Its pollution level is under control and speed fine for city driving conditions.
Then what’s wrong i started thinking again.
We Indians never do things which are not mandatory by law.We never used to wear seat belts until we we made to pay fine. We always had dark films until they were banned.We won’t wear a helmet if there is no traffic policemen in view. So why is Ratan Tata seen as the culprit when whatever he did is lawful.
We are waiting for the government to pass the law that air bags are mandatory. Why can’t we people respect human life and use all the possible safety measures possible.
I am just a kid who wants to live and live till my heart stops itself.I am even ready to pay a few extra rupees for the safety of my family and people ilove.
Is someone listening??????????
