BABA UMAR goes round the city and finds out that middle class people are dying to buy the least expensive car.
It might have taken a long time for Indian Automobile giant Ratan Tata to conjure up an idea of coming up with a low budget car ‘ Nano’, but it took almost no time for the people here to reach a decision of buying it. The denizens both young and old seem to have got completely smitten by the Nano car. “I watched ‘Nano’s launch on a Hindi news Channel and on that time I decided to buy one,” says Hilal Ahmad, a book seller. “Who won’t wish to buy it?” chips an effusive, Saqib Parvaiz. “Two wheelers are the things of bygone era, now it is the time to rule these roads via Nano,” he yells. 
The middle class families have hailed the innovation here and they are quite excited that they too will be counted among the car owners.
“Now I too will be called for Barat, because in our society only car owners can accompany groom to the bride’s house,” laughs Ajaz Hafiz, a private employee who wants to buy the car instantly. “One lakh is no big deal,” says Nayeem Bilal. “It is within our reach.”

The launch has even caused sensation among the kids and students. They no longer want bikes and Scooty’s, but vroom their ‘Nano’ in colleges and Varsity. “Imagine how it would be like, when I enter the college gates with my silver colour Nano,” shouts Amir Zargar in delight. “Ask your dad to gift it on your birthday?” quips Amir’s friend.
Even the rickshaw drivers are planning to sell their vehicles just to buy the stylish and hot Nano. They say one can’t resist this car which can prove to be a good replacement of traditional auto rickshaws. “A brand new auto rickshaw would cost you more than one lakh rupees and if you are getting a sophisticated car in the same price range, why not to go for it?” opines Mohammad Younus, an auto rickshaw driver.
“And then they (drivers) would stuff in half-a-dozen passengers at two fold rates,” jokes a passenger seated in the auto, who says he too would love to own this small wonder-- Nano.
