TATA'S NANO--- THE PEOPLE'S CAR(RS 1 LAC)

And simple the Nano is. The two-cylinder engine is rear-mounted and has a capacity of just 634 cc -- enough to produce a meager 30 horsepower. It's a similar displacement and power rating to the popular Fiat 600 city car of the 1950s and 60s. The four-door Nano seats four people "comfortably" and is just over ten feet long (more than two feet shorter than the Honda Fit) and less than five feet wide -- perfect for negotiating those narrow New Delhi streets.

Two trim levels are available -- "Standard" and "Luxury" -- though the latter moniker is likely highly relative. The primary difference we see between the two models is the alloy wheels installed on the Luxury model (as opposed to steel items on the Standard version).

The Nano utilizes a CVT transmission and is expected to get up to 50 mpg. The vehicle has already passed all relevant Indian crash tests and emissions regulations, and is reported to be able to pass selected international crash tests. Tata says that the Nano also features exceptionally low emissions that rival even two-wheeled transportation in India.

Tata is currently the largest automaker in India and is currently in negotiations with Ford for the purchase of luxury British automakers Jaguar and Land Rover.

India captain Anil Kumble joined the 600-wicket club

India captain Anil Kumble joined the 600-wicket club on Thursday at Perth.

Kumble got rid of the dangerous looking Andrew Symonds to reach the summit that no Indian bowler has ever reached before him.

Captaining India can be a huge burden, especially when up against the best team in the world. Anil Kumble, though, as the cricket world has discovered over the last few decades is a cricketer who rises to the challenge in the face of adversity.

Kumble is the highest wicket taker currently in the series, the only Indian bowler who has consistently threatened the Aussies. Kumble announced his intent of leading from the front on day one of the series on Boxing Day - 5-84.

Over the years Kumble has been India's colossus; the man every Indian skipper turned to when a breakthrough was needed. He has been India's greatest match winner. In 41 Test wins he has been part of, Kumble has 279 wickets at an average of just 18.

Pakistan bore witness to Kumble's amazing skill. He ran though them on a memorable winter afternoon in Delhi - all 10 for 74 - only the second man to take ten wickets in an innings in Tests.

And who can forget the joy on the face of the man when he scored his first ever Test hundred against England at the Oval; the only hundred by an Indian batsman in the series.

The happenings of the last week have elevated Kumble's status from just a mere statesman of the game. The legend of Anil Kumble is growing with every passing day.
