Serpentine Queues Everywhere

So much of man hours wasted standing in queues. People stand in queue to pay bills at the last hour. In Visa office people sometimes go the previous night to be first in the queue. People who have deep pockets arrange someone to stand in the queue.

Parents who wants to get admission for their children in a reputed school stand in queue. After demonetisation people had to stand in queue in front of ATMs.
To buy a platform ticket at the railway station we have to stand in queue.

Women are standing in queue to just to get a pot of water from the corporation water tanker. At the ration shop there is a long queue to get kerosene.

At the hospitals and even in nursing homes after getting an appointment also there is a big queue.

Even after digitization there are many people who are afraid to use the internet for fund transfer and paying utility bills.

Even while using telephone we get a message that we have to wait for sometime or call later.

Long time back when there was no online booking and my son was a teen ager we sent him to a cinema hall to get tickets. He was a very thin and timid boy and some hefty fellow just lifted him and put him out of the queue and he returned home crestfallen.

Dear @Anisu

Thank you for posting the first fb to my post.

Law abiding people are always made fools. While we are waiting patiently in the queue people who have some influence or money power easily make a back door entry.

Wherever possible I try to finish my work through online. While visiting temples I used to stand in the queue. Mostly I avoid going to temples when I know it will be crowded. I go to temple on normal days and avoid going on festival days.

Of course when we visit our doctor we have to wait until our turn comes.luckily our family doctor has become old and sees few patients only.

Dear@shyamala,
Like escalators horizontal walkways should be installed in temples like Tirupathi. Like a conveyor belt it will keep moving. This could be done at specific times and and people will keep moving automatically on the walkways. In US and many other countries these walkways are in use.

Dear Sabitha,
Nowadays in banks there is a special counter for privilege account holders and we use this whenever we go to the bank in person.

Visits to the temples should be avoided on holidays and festival days not to get stuck up in the serpentine queue. Senior citizens have been alloted a specific time both in the morning and in the afternoon at Tirupathi. Along with them an escort is also allowed. Tirupathi Ezumalaiyan Temple is the only temple in India which attracts lots of devotees the whole year round from all over the world. The temple authorities are trying their level best to ease the difficulties faced by the devotees.

Dear @Sandycandy ,
Already people are having only one child in many families. Due to advance in the medical field longevity also has become a cause for population.
