TATA NANO - Why not make it electric

A lot of noise is present regarding the electric vehicles. While much of it is bad since there is no good battery technology and the growing saner noise is good for the environment. The electric vehicles store electric energy in batteries and drive the DC motors to move the vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are also being pursued but it is more complicated due to the unavailability of safe storage technologies. A porous material which could hold hydrogen gas and liberate the same when heated is also being tried. A number of players local and global are working to capture the market share in the new type of vehicles that work on fuels other than petroleum based.

It is in this scenario that TATA group can lead others. The Nano platform is designed as a low cost passenger vehicle and is also proved in crash test while other small cars made by rivals have not completed crash tests and may be marketed and sold at lower prices giving a blow to the original low cost car. the complete body design and looks of the TATA NANO are good and also the car is compact. This car could be converted into a electric one which is capable of carrying passengers comfortably because of its lower weight and can carry passengers with more motor power.

The cost of the vehicle could be still highly competitive and the problem of travel length now limited due to the capacity of batteries. With a good network of Tata service stations the group should tie up with fuel stations. Every battery should be identified with a non tamper-able chip or a sim and also ever car should be uniquely identified electrically.  At the various stations a group of batteries should be kept in constant charging and any empty batter should be replaced with a charge of power and other maintenance/user charges. For a city commuter a 100KM per day would mostly suffice and in case of complete charge drain, a mobile unit should be available to replace the battery with a touch of a phone.

If this type of system is not possible, may be due to higher costs of holding and charging several batteries, then the TATA NANO platform could be made with petro-electirc platform and still maintaining the low cost and high class profile. The platform NANO is a too big to be wasted and the current SWIFT will make many user to move away from the TATA NANO because of the high cost of two lakh plus.

The main complaints of the TATA NANO are not is design or leg space or any others. The design is highly satisfactory, but the noise that the car produced was dragging the class/status because the noise was similar to an auto. People were having a feeling of drivnig an auto instead of a car. If an electric platform is introduced then the noise issue is not there and the car can become owners pride. Sales could also improve. It is a real wonder, that the TATA having implemented a NANO are not willing to venture into the electric car platform where REVA is a leading its space and trying to spread across the nation.

The battery support issue could be taken up together by these two companies and may create new type of market and business opportunities  in India.

I can't listen - Doorknob, Paltu

The Doorknob Goswami is the name given to the super prime time speaker on a popular English opinion shifting  channel. Its a title awarded by people on twitter. Everyday this doorknob calls on people to his studios with a good intention of conducting debates. The speakers of various political and non political parties come to the studios, time and again like people who are mystified by some drug.

When the show begins the doorknob starts with the most exhilarating comments in an attempt to get as many eyeballs and eardrums as possible. This increases the TRP ratings of his channel and thus becomes the number one channel making his ego swell with pride. Pride only boosts ego in a more negative way than that it boots the confidence in a positive way.

The doorknob is used to twist and then to open or shut a door. In a similar manner, this doorknob goswami also twists the facts and put words into the speakers' mouths and then makes even more exhilarating statements. At the end of the debates both the guests and audience will be left in bewilderment as to what has happened.

The only people that go unscathed from the doorknob are mata Sonia Gandhi, paltu kejriwal.  Never ever has the doorknob had the guts to question the debauchery of mata and kejriwal. The deeds of mata are all well known but not spoken. Recently some sycophant has made a statue of the mata in the form of Telangana Talli. Psychopancy runs very deep in the Congress and from now we can except many of the offshoots of congress to make many more statues of their leaders, apart from those who are not yet statued.

The one single biggest mystery that doorknob doesnot want to make is  20part investigation on how could paltu work for 17years without getting transferred, when the departmental rules say that 3years is the period between transfers. This paltu and doorknob are the indeed the best people in the present scenario. The doorknob doesnot ever listen to others and has no patience to give anybody a good hearing in a debate. The doorknob raises questions, and more questions and again repeats with more volume and then with more volume.

By the end of the show, the doorknob completes his speech, he declares that the speaker has no words and has no answers for the questions. The doorknob declares that the speaker has lost and asks for apology, repeats with more volume for apology. When the doorknob speaks for 5minutes  to  question, he expects the answers in yes or no within 2 seconds. This is the stupidity of doorknob, and it is quite evident from the title given to him.

The paltu also belongs to the doorknob category, and if anyone talks doubting his intentions he is titled as corrupt and right wing extremist and planning to kill him. This the same paltu who plans to make india united and strong who didn't get transferred for 17years. The doorknob and paltu are indeed the most awful listeners in the Indian political and non political forum.

Kejriwal - The birth of AAP

The becoming of Kejriwal, the Aam Admi, a CM of Delhi is considered a miracle or second coming of sorts for the Indian Political system. The Ideas represented by Aam Admi Party through its various mouthpieces indicate that they have nothing new. Even the outdated Communist party says that the ideas of AAP are similar to theirs. In such a scenario, how is AAP different from others only the media opinion makers could explain in meaningful ways like they do every night at 9, in prime time slug-fests.

The Kejriwal, the incarnation of honesty having walked this poor country governed by corrupt officials and politicians is blessed to the core. With the passage of Jan Lokpal Bill The Kejriwal could ride a horse and harass all the corrupt and deliver governance to the needy. Many foolish intellectuals have been on a slug fest of a different kind each with own view of how good or bad, the Kejriwal's methods are. But the same opinion is delivered by all.

In the midst of all the noise, The Kejriwal has achieved the impossible, ie., to the fool the electorate and bring a sense of hope to others beleaguered parties. The hope that the electorate are all the same fools who would come into a den of tiger if promised of diamonds in the den with a straight face. This caught the imagination of several parties and have began to emulate The Kejriwal in fooling and appeasing sections of society. Jains are getting minority status, muslims are being offered education subsidy, etc.

In the extreme corner of the political spectrum there is the man who has shown a straight face to the opinion makers and went on with his work. He is the BJP CM, and excuses for the gender insensitivity. The recently elected CMs of BJP ruled states who have been forgotten by the media and are going about their duties as the CMs of their states and drawing plans on improving governance. The Kejriwal, has been busy making announcements, planning for Loksabha-2014 elections and showing to the TV how aam he is. Not to tell that a member of his party has made a noise about being attacked, when a cricket ball has hit car.

The drama surrounding The Kejriwal will shield him from the reality. The reality is that Kejriwal didnot get transferred for 17years in his posting The people may not ask him and he is only answerable to the people who donot ask questions about his credibility. Those who dare to question his honesty or credibility are the corruption incarnate and have to be put in Tihar Jail and be locked up for ever. The honesty incarnate is he certifier of honesty of honesty. Unless The kejriwal says somebody is honest, the person is damned.

Poor The Kejriwal may come to terms with reality and should learn the real politics is never free from corruption, but must deliver maximum governance. The promised land of corruption free state will be good for children's bed time stories. The high profits made by private companies is also a form corruption, and we always look for the maximum benefit for every rupee we spend and not 100% return on the money we spend, because the various profit heads of many people. The kejriwal must concentrate on governance and then the corruption will automatically come down to tolerable levels.

A small corruption here and there is no problem, but if it becomes a habit then it is dangerous for the society and will ultimately lead to its downfall.
