A notice generated by a housing society that complained about “too many parcels” has gone viral on X. When such notices are sent out, people typically express their disagreement with the decision by speaking out. The majority of social media users, however, expressed gratitude for this specific memo. The warning, which is specifically directed to "bachelors," requests that they cease asking security personnel to accept packages on their behalf.
An X user tweeted, “Society presidents are insane. My cousin’s building got a warning for receiving too many parcels in a day.” The notice details that the security guard, who has been working for seven years, informed the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) that his regular work was affected due to the “large numbers of parcels" he had to manage daily.
The post has received about 3,600 likes and has received over 3.1 lakh views. People have also been inspired to post a variety of comments.

They're not entirely wrong. In India, we believe that there is only one person in charge of everything: the security guard. One X user wrote, "Don't treat him like your baggage collector." "That is a reasonable request," said another. Who receives 10–15 packages per day?
Another observed, “There is nothing wrong with that request. How much effort does it take to be more thoughtful in a community living setup? What if they ask them to come to the gate to collect their orders rather than allow the delivery person in?” A fourth wrote, “Why should security personnel receive any stuff? This is strictly prohibited in our society.”

Saving Rs 600 per day = Rs 2,19,000 per year

Reading 20 pages per day = 30 books per year
Walking 10,000 steps per day = 70 marathons per year
Never underestimate the power of small habits.
