Gobar means animal dung in Hindi. All of rural India uses it in a variety of ways. Ways that exemplify sustainable existence. That's why we use it, too.

COW PATS
CUT AND PASTE Dilip Chhabaria is an auto maker who does not build new cars. He only breaks apart existing ones, mixing and matching them to produce dazzling new cars. His designer cars are sight to behold. Seeing a Maruti merging into a Fiat is indeed amusing.
	POOR MAN'S LIMO Not rich and snooty enough to have a limousine? Not to worry, there’s help at hand at the Auto Expo. Parikh Auto Builders have mastered the art of stretching our very own ageless Ambassador car into a long, smart, spanking new limousine. All this for a very affordable Rs. 7-8 lakhs only.

ERRING ERA OF POLLUTION

Pollution, our greatest problem, is caused by cars.But the real culprit is not yet behind bars.

Due to this many people are dying every day
The government remarks: WE HAVE NO SAY.

Because of status, cars are important for people.But cars cause accidents and many legs get crippled.

Pollution is caused by you, me and all of us.
We CAN reduce it by taking a CNG bus.

Let us make Delhi pollution free.Each one of us should plant a tree!
