Rikshaw Rascals!

THE FIRST POST FOR THE BLOG!!!
HONEST DAYS WORK
[16/02/2009]
Location: Fergusson College Road. On the corner of the British Library opposite the Vaishali restaurant .
So these guys have a "stand" if you look in the picture below, on the right side.
But whats really interesting is... yes you know it! (pic on right and below) Why the hell are they parking right below a no parking sign??!!! And in the direction they are not supposed to park in!!!! I feel sorry for them in a way, they are just doing their job, though this is breaking the rules. Why not have properly designated and thoughtfully built with a telephone booth and what not, rikshaw stands? Or sensitize people about why there is a need to have no parking areas? These rikshaw wallas (most of them) have no other source of income and are poaching in one of the most profitable areas of the city, they are ready to pay the fine for breaching the law, it's worth the risk! We need to put more thought into the way we make decisions about how space in the city should be used. Anyway ENJOY POST NUMBER ONE!!!
