In search of a parking spot

New Delhi is fast becoming a problem city insofar as parking of vehicles is concerned. According to recent reports, approximately 4,000 vehicles are added everyday onto the Delhi roads. And mind you, the 'Tata Nano' is yet to hit the roads in a big way thanks to the initial technical glitches that the model has faced. Thankfully, the traffic still moves in the city because of its wide and spacious roads, but how long will it continue to be so is the big question and many, many more parking facilities need to be set up without any delay whatsoever.
And while improving the public transportation system - availability of a bus from any stop at a frequency of three minutes, for a commuter - a no-nonsense diktat to the effect that private vehicles shall not ply on the roads from 6 AM to 6 PM and heavy fining of any vehicle that does not have a minimum number of four passengers, should bring about some semblance of discipline amongst the uncouth and impatient Delhi population!
Till then, it's prudent to join the mad rush and be more uncouth than your neighbour, and hope like mad that nothing goes wrong, if you do not wish to miss on your deadlines!!
