Sign inside a Koramangala park. Quick! How many DO’s and how many DONT’s?

Another park! Another sign! Easier on the eye. Too bad it’s still prohibition time!

Additional commentary

  • Park timings seem to mirror temple timings though I haven’t verified whether the park is actually closed between 10am and 4pm.
  • Only clockwise walking. Compliance rate is similar to that for the One-way and Maintain Lane Discipline signs you see on Indian roads.
  • Fencing around the fountain for exercises – interesting phrase I say. Btw, the word fountain is merely aspirational.
  • Cleanliness is next to godliness. If all the non-park public spaces were 1/10th as clean as the Koramangala parks, now THAT would be aspirational!
  • In Indian English, “Dirty” can take the form of a verb.
  • Playing in the Park prohibited? Aw come on!
