No parking

Haphazard parking of vehicles in front of gates is one of those irritating acts. It was a relief when few firms came up with ‘No parking‘ boards to be hung up on gates. It had a dual purpose, serving us as well as the firm, cutting short on their advertising expenditure. The fact that they themselves hung them without bothering us also added to our joy. With only a few educated people reading and understanding that, there were lesser vehicles outside the gates providing us a little breather. But this was only short lived. The next morning, the number of boards doubled. And within a week, the number had increased alarmingly to ten. After a week, there was no space for any other board to be hung. That was all we could tolerate and decided to remove them all except one, so that it could serve the purpose. Now came the next problem of choice - which one to have and finally we settled for the most clean board. All these were only for a few days as the entire cycle started once again with more boards. And now I am contemplating to hang a ‘No ‘no parking’’ board to keep them all away.
