Is the NANO - India's New Bollymobile?

January 10th 2008 18:08

Remember the old VW bug and buses, of course you do. They sold for about $2,000 when my bud's bought them new in the now infamous 60's. They weren't much, just barely big enough to stuff 4 guys and 4 gals inside for a love-in outing and skinny dipping. Skinny was dipped frequently during that era. It often didn't matter what god awful colors they came in; with the help of some odd brushes, bright colors, a hit of acid, some smoke and cheap tasty wine it could be transformed into a hippy-gobile. Many of the genYers may owe their very existence to those delightful rides. Want more info, follow this link to Great Article, about the bug only, do your own research on the hippy movement.

Happily, India can now belatedly enjoy the benefits of that 60's era phenomenon with the introduction of the new $2,500 NANO, that link will take you to the article. Hey, laugh if you like, but this ride could bring about major changes to India; crappy freeways, traffic signs in Spanglish, toll roads, highway patrol persons, road taxes, higher gas prices, unsafe bridges, American owned convenience stores, out sourced jobs, flat tires and no rest stop keys that weigh under 10 kilos.

Wow, the mental image of lithe saffron clad beauties singing melodic Bollywood songs, oozing sensuality with undulating hips and body movements, seeking fulfillment in their boyfriends new 2008 Nano, whewww. There could be a mass exodus of hippy wannabes headed to India, riding fat in their buff Nano ride and cruising village hotspots looking up fly. (Slang for barfly's)

The New Age is rushing headlong into a tumultuous crash with ancient history and bigotry; it's going to bring about a cultural train wreck of epic proportions. You aren't going to want to miss this coming of age party.

Oh yeah, it's time for India to work out karma issues on the windshield of life. They obviously have the other sensuality issues handled or there's been a lot of that immaculate conception stuff going around the country. Maybe what they really need is free cable TV, ... oh right; buy a brand spanky new 2008 Nano stud muffy-mobile and lemme know how you fare. Oh the back seat memories now pending.

Yeah, you still see plenty of distinctive combies about the place - instantly evocative of a whole other time and culture.

Skinny was dipped frequently during that era.

HAHAHAHAHA! That was rather (too) evocative as well!

Celebrity Obsession

Is there anything that says Hippy or Free Love more aptly than a comby (VW) van that's been painted by someone who quite obviously took too much acid???

A friend of mine still has a comby van (sadly, it's not a painted one) that he refuses to give up. He may have a family car for ferrying the kids about every day, but that vw van is his spiritual car soul-mate!

How easily I can understand and relate to his obsession Kylie, the Nano may hold those same kinds of memories for a whole new generation. Fascinating eh?
