“Value added Tata”

On reading the article on the Nano titled "Value Added Tata” (Parsiana, February 7, 2008), I could not help but urge teachers and parents who claim that students and children have no role models to emulate other than cricketers and film stars to acknowledge a role model that is right in front of them.

Ratan Tata and his remarkable team have without doubt proved that the House of Tatas is the personification of true inspiration.

Long ago, I decided not to take a wife,/because a woman in the house only leads to strife.

In my life, I’ve got only one pyaar,/and that is my small car.

My cars are not fakes,/They will sell like hot cakes.

Running one won’t lead to your financial ruin,/It’s meant for every farmer, plumber and peon.

The car will start a new revolution,/With a decrease in pollution.

On seeing the car, people will say,"Wow,/I want to buy it right now.”

Even the super-rich will rejoice,/It will fit into the dicky of their Rolls-Royce.

My competitors will give me a lot of gar/When millions buy my small car.

So stop traveling by bus—/To the Nano say "Yes.”
