Decorum In Community Living 

Malibu Towne is a small independent township. By and large the Residents are well educated with reasonable resources, a majority being upper middle class and above. To top it off, there is abundant greenery in Malibu. 

 Norms of acceptable conduct for decent living as a community in a good township like ours should emerge naturally from the heart of all Residents. Surely, no one likes unclean areas and unclean surroundings. Therefore we have to abide by certain common sense imperatives.

Certainly, we already have a decent opportunity to embrace nature by carefully using our Green areas including various Parks which have hedge plantations on peripheries. The RWAs are in an endeavour towards further beautification of common areas in a thought-out plan for the plantation of saplings that would bloom with colourful flowers of the season. 

With the above background a few “What Must not be Done” points are shared for our mindful residents. Agree that it is all Common Sense for our very Educated and Responsible resident community. To recapture in a nutshell and inter alia, these NO DO norms include:

> Easing of pets in parks and on roads 

> Using parks for running, cycling and other vigorous sports etc in preference to sporting grounds, sidewalks and Roads for cycling 

> Not using services of the Federation-appointed garbage clearing Agency just to disagree with a well-thought-out decision of the Fed of RWAs 

> Non-payment of charges for community services that add value to our living 

> Rash driving inside the township coupled with unmindful parking by residents

> Leaving trollies of vendors on roads inside the township 

> Using aggressive language in conversation when pointed at for irregularities etc, etc (sic)

Let us all elevate to a higher plane of living in harmony in our beautiful township. It is certainly an achievable standard with conscious observance of community norms and wilfully accepting “Do Nots” as above. It is not a sermon but an agreeable appeal to fellow Malibuites. 

To conclude, the key to happiness in community living is sharing happiness and bonhomie — as they say “Khushmizazi “ — among fellow Residents!
