Auto Expo 2008

When I was in college I had a very strong desire to see Auto Expo held in Delhi. Since I was in Bareilly those days which is far away from Delhi and also I dint get any person to accompany me to the expo that desire left unfulfilled.  But I dint had slightest clue that I will get an opportunity next year itself. After  few months of joining my first job after  B.Tech in a top German Auto based company in Gurgaon my head called me up and said” you have to represent our compnay during Auto Expo”. I was really thrilled .

Although expo days were more than a bit tiring but the enjoyment and the thrill surpasses  the tiredness. I enjoyed all those to the fullest. I still remember the first day crowd at TATA Nano.  One of my friend called me and asked me to send me the pic of nanao as soon as possible I just enterd the hall it was tightly packed,I tried my best but I was just not able to take the snap.Whenever  I was trying to click ,a huge crowd just blowed me to other place . Finally after few tries ,I had to ask one of my colleague to take the snaps for me. Since TATA’s hall was nearest among all the  OEM’s hall,I was a daily visitor and sometime even two three visits per day.

 I really feel pity for Nano even after a huge launch and a heavy response from the customers, it is still not on road. Hope next year starting we  will have it.

Anyways, I have to wind up now as some work is left so just one line : The experience was  awesome..!!
