Maintain the queue....

The scene was very much alike in New Delhi Railway Reservation Centre.There was pandemonium in the crowd. I got my tickets reserved last day after standing for almost 6 hrs.I waitied since morning 10.30 till evening 4'o clock. I really pissed off and was cursing myself why I have come so far from my hometown Calcutta.

Seriously,our whole life revolves around queues.Queues are ubiquitous.There are queues in hospotals, we see queues in the job interviews, we see queues for FIR registered in the police station, we face queues for enrolling into coaching classes,we experience queues for gals:)even queue for peeing....

The experiences of standing in the queue are really invaluable.

Thats a interesting and unique post harry. :)

And harry, you just never know. It could be a lesson to learn to wait at some points of ya life. Patience teaches a big lesson and often its not very sweet to our taste as it is molding us. Look at the queues to the brighter side and you might just gain the better things in life.

Cheers!

I like this post.. Teaches me something along the lines..

Queues teach us to be patient, wait for our turn and discipline. But I hate ppl who jump queues...once this guy came and stood right in front of me like he was the CEO of the queue. I asked him to back lol!

Yes these are the things which really makes the people frustrate and then they talk about to be patient...If they can't handle a thing then just get a solution from it from somewhere...I mean waiting for 6hrs just to get a reservation and on the otherhand they say time is very precious in todays scenerio...Thanks to me as i live nearby i have not encounteres such a problem otherwise i would go mad on hearing this

It has been almost 6 months since i last stood in queue for railway reservation......always prefer net booking to avoid these kind of hackles.

Anways...speaking of queues,i guess we(as an Indian)must have to get used to standing on queues.Infact some years back i use to enjoy standing on queues, watching peoples.

Infact i dated a girl for 6 months,who is a good friend now(and also a good blogger:)) whom i met in a queue of a bank...so there are some possitives of standing in queue also ;)
