FAKING NEWS-After Nano, Tata all set to launch Nana – the people’s helicopter

[rohit bansal]

Now each one can fly. No, that’s not a new slogan from some plane
ticket booking website, but a promise by the reputed Tata Group, which
has announced their latest plans to launch Nana – the people’s
helicopter. Nana will cost around 10 Lakh rupees and will be specially
manufactured for the Indian middle class that desires to have safer
and quicker means of transport at an affordable cost.

“As a young boy, Ratan Tata had dreamt that every Indian family should
have their own helicopter; Nana is realization of the same.” said a
Tata spokesperson, adding, “There were critics who had claimed that
our lakh-rupees car Nano would populate the road and add to traffic
jams. But now, powered with Nana, people can simply ignore the road
traffic.”

Interestingly, Nana can be used both on land and in air, making it the
most versatile vehicle available to the common masses till now. It
will have a seating capacity of four persons and a top speed of 250
Kms/hr. Nana will be launched in December 2012 with Bollywood actor
Nana Patekar as brand ambassador.

An always excited Nana Patekar has even suggested a new slogan for
this launch – “Ek helicopter aadmi ko parinda bana sakta hai” (A
helicopter can make a bird out of a man).

With such a grand project in sight, political parties have started
wooing the Tata Group to set up manufacturing plants in their
respective constituencies. They also expect Nana to be equipped with
latest security and landing measures so that political leaders don’t
land in controversies while flying for political campaigns.

The support for Tata Group among the political class can be gauged
from the fact that this time around, even Mamta Banerjee has shown
full support to their project. She has in fact started a hunger strike
demanding a Nana manufacturing plant in Singur, a complete turnaround
from her earlier stand over Nano.

Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata has refused to comment on her demands,
but he assured the political class that Nana would be safer than their
current helicopters and equipped with modern technologies like a PSPO
rotor fans. Tata have contacted Orient PSPO (pyara sa pankha orient
ka) for a partnership.

Common people had mixed reaction to the news with kids wondering if
their kite flying sessions would be cut short drastically after Nana
starts flying in the air, while the adults wondered if the price of
Nana would still be 10 Lakhs rupees when it finally comes after
production in December 2012. Nonetheless many families were happy to
see themselves flying with their dear ones three years from now.
