After Nano, it's Tiny......

The Indian family of 4 travelling on a 2-wheeler has never had it so good. The automakers are falling, sorry, "running" over themselves to bring out a car for them.

The newest entrant to this red-hot segment seems to be the "Tara Tiny". This one's a green car - it's battery operated. This is a significant benefit especially since the petrol and diesel prices have just now gone up by Rs 2 and Re 1 respectively. It will be easier on the pockets of the targetted customer base.

And 3 more electric cars from the same company - Titu, Micro and Mini are waiting in the wings. Suddenly it's raining "under 1-lakh cars"! Someone please come up with an under-Rs 10 umbrella :-)

Now I am holding my breath for someone to come up with a car that can be folded and carried with you. No need to hunt for a parking space in the crowded cities!

And while we are at it, why not have the cars come equipped with their own stretch of roads - the way the tanks (I think they are called "All-terrain") do? That way we don't even have to worry about the potholes and rain-water clogged roads :-)

I bet after Ta"t"a and Ta"r"a, it would be the Ta"s"a, Ta"v"a and Ta"w"a coming out of the woodworks to bring out Itsy, Bitsy, Chintu, Pintu and Chhotu ;-))
