Tata Nano is, without even a shadow of doubt, the most eagerly awaited car in India. The attention it drew in the recently concluded Auto Expo 2008, was tremendous by any standard. I reached Pragati Maidan last Saturday to catch a glimpse of the ‘talk of the town’, but seeing the mad rush at the venue, I headed over to Nehru place to see the 1 lac laptop, the MacBook Pro.

Tata Nano is the cheapest car ever built. But is this really the ‘People’s car’?
