NoNo???

The nano revolution that started yesterday made me start a blog. My first reaction when the car was announced was Nai-No’.

The nano generation as the world calls it, is going to be ‘in’ thing in the future. But does this ‘nano’-technology applied everywhere going to be fruitful to the cities?

Ofcourse, one must appreciate the concept and the efforts that went on to make a world class car with the price as it bets, but the question of its effects (adverse or favorable) on the interface that it is going to ply is of tremendous potential.

If one looks at the Nano and its repercussions on the Indian cities, one does worry as to where and how are the Indian roads going to take the additional ‘pressure’.

We are anyways ‘raping the cities’ in the pretext of ‘development’

It is going to be like the mobile revolution which has eluded us of many manificient things which not many of us have realized. Where do we here the chirping of the birds, where are those birds which used to fly and give a manificent feature in the colourful palette of the sky? We are looking nature a-part in the pretext of development.

The issue of these ‘comfort’ seekers is not restricted to the roads itself, we will need additional parking spaces, where the hell is the authority adding such spaces. Every family will eventually ‘give birth’ to this additional member in the family which needs so called parking space. 

With the kind of monsters that run on the streets, the records show a record of almost 350 nos of two wheelers being registered in the Indian city of Pune and the number of two wheelers almost double every 7 years. Considering this astonishing number of ‘comforts’ plying on the road, the nano should be a strict NONO.
