Christmas Tree... err leaves!

Encounter with Frozen dew!!!

Got to see this wonderful spectacle at ooty last week. It was almost 8 in the morning when i got up. This is what that was waiting for me outside the door! I was simply taken away by its breathtaking beauty and clicked till i ran out of memory on my camera!

There was a white layer of frozen dew everywhere. See the trails our car left...

Tata Nano Driven!!!

UK based magazine, "CAR" became the first to drive India's car for the world, Tata Nano! Yes, the cute Nano is worth this hype! The magazine is totally convinced about this car and that reflects in the Four Star rating they have awarded the Nano. Its not only the pricing that they are impressed about but also what they call the "Feel good factor" and its drivability in urban conditions. Yes! you read it right, Drivability! "On a short run close to 60mph the Nano didn’t feel strained or unstable, so it should cope with extra-urban duties if required" is what the test drive report says.

Here is the verdict in their words,

"CAR's first ride in the Tata Nano felt far more significant and exciting than a first drive in a Ferrari or Lamborghini, because this car’s importance is immeasurably greater. It won’t compete on dynamics or quality with European or Japanese city cars, but it doesn’t have to. 

What Tata has achieved at an unprecedented price is astonishing, although we’d guess it will cost Indian consumers closer to £1700 when it finally goes on sale, six months late, in March 2009. 

But after experiencing it in action, we’re more convinced than ever of the transformational effect the Tata Nano could have on this industry. And in times like these, we find that strangely comforting.”

I cannot help getting excited about this review and the incredible success that awaits this revolutionary INDIAN car!
