East Fort, Trivandrum: The picture says it all. A no-parking signboard stands loud and clear, in the middle of the road. The crow that has parked itself right on top of the board may be excused. Human language may just be a little different from crow-talks.

But the buses did not ride on its own. Two human drivers, who passed their license test by writing that vehicles are to stay away from no-parking zones, have either not seen the sign or just didn’t bother.

Such occurrences are many and it becomes increasingly menacing when the culprits decide to leave their vehicles parked at the side of very busy roads. Very few of the no-parking boards are taken seriously.

Time for a change, ladies and gentlemen. When there are people lurking around with mobile phone cameras around the city, it is no more an easy-to-get-away world. It is time for a change in attitude.
