Polluted Indian Roads
I'm 33 years old and in my 12 odd years of my work life so far, i have never bought a gas motor bike or a gas car, even though i could afford one.
I have used public transport all my life.
But looking at people, who don't care and buy SUVs, sometimes i think whats the point?
How am i making a difference? And how am i benefiting?
The government does not provide any tax benefit for me, for not using a gas guzzling vehicle. I walk through the polluted Indian cities and breathe in the polluted air to catch a bus, while i see colleagues zoom in their AC cars.
But something has always kept me going.
There was a deep intuition that kept telling me bout the environment and air quality. It kept telling me to set an example.
I was never interested in gas cars or motor bikes. It all changed when i watched 2 awesome documentaries -
'Who killed the electric Car' and 'Revenge of the electric Car'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Electric_Car
And ever since, am sold on the concept of electric mobility and i wait with bated breath on every bit of breakthrough or product launches that goes on around the world. I often wondered if there will be a change...But of late there is a silent revolution happening and lets all get ready for the electric invasion!
This blog is all bout educating people on the need to look beyond oil.
