Just a couple of days back, I was invited at BITS Pilani (One of India’s premier) Institutes for learning, at their fest which promoted the theme Energizing Entrepreneurship!
Entrepreneurship has always fascinated me, it defines passion for me. Its like taking a deep breath and venturing out feeling fresh air at your face and looking at opportunities all around you 
Delivering a session, well, I was attending one yesterday at a management school in New Delhi. So there was this old man almost in his 70′s (a retired Air Force wing commander) who was there to teach Entrepreneurship. A class of almost 20 participants and well he started. The session was scheduled for a period of 1.5 hours and yes it stretched almost a couple of minutes beyond the stipulated time.
Why? It’s all because of the TATA NANO!
To all the examples, which the teacher took in the class there was just one answer: TATA NANO!
Before I write further, I must confess that I have personally alwasy respected Mr. Ratan Tata for whatever he is! The man kept his word, its NOT ABOUT the NANO, its about a man keeping his word, a man seeing a dream and empowering millions around him to see one!
These are dreams which take shape. These are dreams of change.
THIS IS THE CHANGE!
Coming back to the lecture now, I was pretty amazed when every example shared in the room about all the topics which are covered in the text book of entrepreneurship, well, NANO fits them all!
- Innovation
- Competition
- Dreams
- Passion … and the list goes on
Size does matter huh?!
I congratulate Mr. Ratan Tata and urge every Indian to go and see dreams with Open Eyes!
I personally extend my heartfelt wishes to a man who saw a dream with a car manufacturing company just a decade old. A man who is not getting much margins on the NANO he is selling. A man who fought all odds and well, at the end of the day, he has proven to the world, INDIA HAS ARRIVED! with a Bang!

Okay, I must confess, this sunday when I was at Cannaught Place (a posh shopping locale) at New Delhi, India, I didn’t imagine that I would really bump into a spanking new BMW650i parked right in front of the showroom!
Well, on anyother day when CP is bustling with people there would not be any chances of having such a close look at the car, but wallah, sunday the market is closed and hence I present to you the closest you can get (other than buying the amazingly awesome machine) to the BMW650i.
Thanks to a friend (Abhinav) who clicked the pictures!
The BMW 650i from the front, dont you feel like getting in it, well, there is more to come, so read on!! The BMW 650i belongs to the BMW 6 series and is available in the convertible mode as well. Gosh I so wish, I could have presented you guys with it, but well right now, feast your eyes with the coupe!
The Stats!
4.8 litres with 360 Horse Power. The power unit provides for an amazingly smooth experience of RAW POWER in your very own hands! Its like taming your own beast. At 6300rpm well, feeling breathless aint a word anymore, is it?!
Engine: The 8 cylinder V8 engine delivers impressive performance, the technology makes driving an effortless task (I am sure many a Delhi’tes would love effortless driving), looking at the jams everywhere!
The Design
The BMW 650i from the back! Gosh…did I hear you saying? Apart from the BMW logo, the LED lights, are sleekly designed and integrate within the frame of the car in a seamless manner. The lights are not bulging out and hence complement the streamline design of the car.
Alloy, YES! Ohh, I’d love to take this on for a ride and burn some rubber!! The front brakes of the car are Disc and the alloy wheels by design complement the sleek and seamless shape of the machine. The steel shining bright with the sunshine falling on it, well…this is a sight in itself!
The 6 gears automatic transmission, makes the whole proposition, nothing short of : Give it to me, I wanna drive this one!
Okay, so I apologize that the interiors are not very clear, will soon get a better picture, the upholstery is pure suede and soft cream in color. The pitch black steering wheel gels with the dashboard, boasting of some amazing technology, which asks you to do not much. The contrast of black and soft cream, gives this design a look which is Bold, Flashy, Classy and yet so Subtle!
So, how could I miss the sunroof. Amazing tranlucent black glass, which shades from the sun and still lets you have all of it look at the reflection of the ‘white pole’ on the sun roof and this is in broad daylight.
And well, how could I miss getting immersed into the moment and sharing space with the beauty?!
I would want your feedback on this review, please leave your comment and I would be able to present a LIVE review of the amazing machine, in Full Action!
