Hello Sir. What is your name?
Paandu. Gems Paandu
Ahem. What car do you own?
I don't have one.
Then what mode of transport do you have?
I have a motorized quadricycle, called the Nano.
Oh, so you are one amongst the millions of Nanoists?
No. I am one amongst the few married Onanists. Otherwise, we won't be able to fit into the Nano.
Sir, how much mileage do you get?
I am not sure. Since I got the base model, I discovered it didn't come with a fuel tank. I didn't ask for one either in the fear of rising oil prices.
Sir, is it faster and quieter than the LS 600 hL?
The last time I heard my friend's Nano, it sounded like an atom bomb. It makes a lot of sound but does not budge from the same spot.
How would you rate the ownership experience?
I believe in Green living. However, the experience thus far has been a bit unpredictable.
Why so?
I used to drive a Reva. I spent all my savings on it but never earned a penny thereafter as it could not reach my office in one charge. It's electric supply was more unpredictable than the Government's. Then I bought a Nano. I cut out a hole in the floor like Mr.Flintstone. However, now I needed to eat so much more to move the car that my gas emissions have sky rocketed. Hence I am polluting even more now.
