Re-Birth of the Icon : Chetak the Indian war horse

This is opposite to what I usually blog here. Since this too was a passing thought, thought it right to blog it.

Chetak : Who does not know about this Melody of the yesteryear's. Its was the style statement in its hay days which went on to become a Must have two wheeler a few years later.

Off late I've been attending far too many Social gatherings. In these gatherings, I do meet up with very many old time customers who still go GAGA with their Chetak & Chetak days.

Most of them have given up driving the chetak around for the Convenience of Automatic scooters.

In this Era of remakes & remixes , which have turned out to be great success, I now feel that it would happen to the Chetak too. I strongly feel that Chetak needs to have a rebirth, OFC in a new Avtar.
In its new Avtar, this new scooter should appeal to the Chetak Generation whilst keeping an eye on the wants of the "Today Generation".

All it takes is a 125 CC 4- Stroke , well styled, simple to use , Automatic scooter. The Styling according to me must be derived from the older Chetak with a few features added ala the old Marquee.

It should derive some small external styling leads/ inputs from the Yesteryear's Chetak in a few areas, which Reminds us about the Great Marquee Calling itself the "Chetak Automatic".

In short it should be a reminder of the old Glory days of the Chetak set in the modern era.

The Name Chetak, I am sure it would rekindle many memories & bring back the glory of the yesteryears.

Experience : a Finer Derivative

Expereience:

Having seen a few application which come in with a column quoting the experience in the number of years at doing some thing, thought of the same today in the morning.

Experience according to me is all about the learning one derives from every day endevors & trying to do the same quickly under similar circumstances & not repeat the same mistakes that were commited in the earlier instance.
