Then I decided to take a particular parking space and took a sharp left turn to occupy that parking space. It so happened I was occupying a second space on my right by about one foot. If there were lot of cars/some cars or was a holiday/festival day, I would have reversed my car and parked properly. I decided to leave it the way I parked (taking a foot of the second space) because there was no car in the whole parking lot. You can call that “laziness”.<br /><br />I would have apologized and parked properly if only she did not have that arrogant and harsh voice.<br /><br />Indu, please visit here as often as possible.

However, I hope she is as strict as she was with you when lots of people need to park and some stupid person parks it wrongly occupying two parking spaces.<br />You know some people have no sense especially in India they think they own the whole street, and do very bad parking, and they always try to take more space than needed, but the same people would follow the rule and park it properly when they are abroad.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-9626418776746297442017-05-31T21:39:23.142-07:002017-05-31T21:39:23.142-07:00Yes, voice modulation is very important.
