The next World War won't be over the nuclear weapons or the who is the Big Daddy of the world or country borders or even as some environmentalists tend to admonish, over water. It should not be much of a storm if the next major global aggression will be over parking space.
A free parking space is nothing but a luxury only few get to savor in the recent times. The moment you take the car out of your home, phew..., you are welcomed into an alien space of rows of cars towing after one another, on the highway, in the side lane, by the mall, by the chat wala!! The most critical thing boggling a driver's mind these days ain't the traffic on the road or the reckless driving, its how the hell m gonna park ma drive machine and move about doing ma chores. And it just gets worse if u hail from a metro. The roads get slimmer than a model's waste line and the no. of cars driving on it increase at the rate the population of India grows. Its a mad mad world out there. The race for car parking supersedes the F1 with drivers zooming around in the dungy lanes just to find that perfect spot to park. People literally stalk near the parking lot on the by-passers and plunge like a starved tiger the moment they hear another car roar. Its the survival of the fastest in its utmost essence. But since Nanos continue to flood the market, strategies need to be put in place to control the road rage or rather parking rage- which, apparently is a world wide phenomenon now, transcending all borders. And this rage grows exponentially with the presence of cold blooded terrorist to be found on almost all rows, the Parking Attendant. Just when one pumps a fist in the air on his success at finding himself a spot to park, he emerges, almost magically from thin air and speaks with a almost chilly voice, " Dude!! You can't Mark Here". And the reasons for this harassment deepens its mystery with each such call and you may wonder forever..Why ME:(?? coz arguing with this terrorist ain't a option you have. The city one lives in seems to be flooded with "No parking" signs and it really makes one wonder " Is the earth really shrinking..?" With the widespread presence of these hoardings, the advertising potential they provide is unfathomable. It shouldn't be long before these signs are coupled with ad like "No Parking here. But do park in your money in our mutual funds". And who said creativity really needs make sense.:)
Raiz ur eyz 2d skyz 2feel d mystery of lyf Itz either calm n beautiful or rushin restles thrilin u; Reflectin ol our livez in d enormous pond of d skiez; D clouds drift 2meet horizon widout knwin wht thy’l find thr. As do v ol, jst liv our livez n shift thru path set by d time Far awy by d horizon d sun wil paint rainbows of our drmz, N jst no matr how v’l run d tym wil alwaz get in front N d horizon wil b by d blazin sun.
