If you ask, in today’s life what is the biggest challenge, I would unhesitatingly vote for Parking. All your life, you keep thinking that you want to move on. But the biggest hurdle comes in the form of parking the vehicle.
Wherever it can be, whether an evening trip to a mall or the mandatory trip to the office in the morning. The most uncivilized behavior of human beings is at full flow during these times.
This morning, someone in the office parking lot was in a hurry. Which on first place I don’t understand about. If only we were making millions every minute that we need to rush like that, then my name would have been Bill Gates. This character was in such haste that he parked in a slope in neutral and ran towards the building. I was parked behind and I could see his car following him on it's own. But he wasn’t turning back a bit and his car continued moving till it kissed another car’s behind. Maybe it runs in their family!! Worse was that someone in that melee parked his car in that slot which the fuzzy intelligent car vacated.
And the shapes of the cars, I will tell you, there is not a single day I don't rue having a big car. Some cars that appear like suitcases can actually get parked horizontally in the same space allotted to you in which you break your side mirror. It’s a different fact that these cars can be lifted in reality from any parking space and drove on.
Finding your car without a remote beep is tougher than making George Bush intelligent. In a mall with multi-leveled parking, you get to your car only if you ancestors have fed millions of needy people. Otherwise, you buy a yellow car.
And the valets are a breed unto themselves! In huge demand, they always meddle your seat position, side mirror, and rear-view mirror for that small drive towards a slot. And when you get in, you feel like you have robbed a car and sitting on that.
To get rid of all these troubles, I have always considered having a driver. But the parking troubles are lesser compared to them. First they screw up your car, second they all think that in the entire solar system they know about cars and driving much better so much so, they reply to you in such condescending manner almost meaning to tell you, how in earth you bought such a big car when you can be so stupid.
I wish there will be a day they invent cars, that can move like crabs sideways, or something that is so intelligent that it can go home on its own and return to pick you up, or something that can shrink and expand as per will, that you can stop, shrink and pocket them. Or just plainly walk!!
