[Assam] Tata's Nano - any innovation or waste pf consumer's money

[Alpana B. Sarangapani]

That was not in my mind - to compare the streets of India and the US. Because I know if I did I would not win.
 
Now, just for argument's sake, even if one does compare, parking on a real road is one thing, and having to park on top of garbage that comes off the drain the day before is another. I won't even have to mention about the space to turn around, etc.
 
My point was, with good  transportation system like they have in India, and for the alleys being so narrow in most neighborhoods, everyone does NOT necessarily have to have a car.

Right. And if it does not flood the roads.

I've seen people having to park on the street (that includes posh areas in Delhi, MP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Assam, of course). Many don't even have a proper verandah, leave alone a space/garage inside their compound. > > A country where public transportation has been so good (that includes Taxis, Rickshwas, Auto-Rickshwas, 'Trackers' and what not!), more than private cars, the road space/condition needs to be taken care of first. And parking space near the markets? As you know!, that's another nightmare! > > If I was a current resident of India, I would still prefer going by a bus to places. But I understand the economy has been booming...the only thing is that every issue that contributes towards having a quality living needs to be taken care of, be it by the government itself (if that is not done by the government), or by the influential business magnates/tycoons/groups. > > My two cents' worth. > > > > > > > > “In order to make spiritual progress you must be patient like a tree and humble like a blade of grass”> - Lakshmana> > > > > > Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 01:28:38 -0800> From: jaipurschool at yahoo.com> To: assam at assamnet.org> Subject: [Assam] Tata's Nano - any innovation or waste pf consumer's money> > http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Ratan-Tata-unveils-Rs-1lakh-Nano/259912/> > Umesh Sharma> > Washington D.C. > > 1-202-215-4328 [Cell]> > Ed.M. - International Education Policy> Harvard Graduate School of Education,> Harvard University,> Class of 2005> > http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/index.html (Edu info)> > http://hbswk.hbs.edu/ (Management Info)> > > > > www.gse.harvard.edu/iep (where the above 2 are used )> http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/> > > > http://jaipurschool.bihu.in/> > ---------------------------------> Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo! for Good> _______________________________________________> assam mailing list> assam at assamnet.org> http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org> _________________________________________________________________> Share life as it happens with the new Windows Live.> http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_Wave2_sharelife_012008> _______________________________________________> assam mailing list> assam at assamnet.org> http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org> > > > Umesh Sharma> > Washington D.C. > > 1-202-215-4328 [Cell]> > Ed.M. - International Education Policy> Harvard Graduate School of Education,> Harvard University,> Class of 2005> > http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/index.html (Edu info)> > http://hbswk.hbs.edu/ (Management Info)> > > > > www.gse.harvard.edu/iep (where the above 2 are used )> http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/> > > > http://jaipurschool.bihu.in/> > ---------------------------------> Sent from Yahoo! - a smarter inbox.> _______________________________________________> assam mailing list> assam at assamnet.org> http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
