would u pay 2.5 lakhs for a reva?

there was, i think, a reva showroom near my place, and (from it) i learnt that A LARGE AMOUNT of the reva's on-road price is actually tax. to the extent of 40% or something.
maybe reva didn't grease palms or have a sugadaddy in the FinMin or they could've gotten special exemption from these taxes (remember chris rock saying it's not "tax", it's "jack") on the basis of environmental good practices ka promotion or something.
bloody sarkar is nothing but a vampire. a leech. or, to quote agent smith, a virus... saala, baap ka raaj samajh ke rakkha hai. think about the most recent "we want 41%" fiasco.
to return to what this thread is about... did anyone else (i'm in south delhi, between AIIMS and SDA) see reliance's mini tractors which cut 2-3cm wide and maybe 6inch deep slits into the road? they laid their cables everywhere, in this area. seemed like an extremely clever solution -- no super digging, no week long bomb craters, no piles of earth left like a 50ft cow crapped all over the place, far smaller amounts of dust...
