Waiting in Queue

So busy with our lives

We seldom get time to unwind

Standing in queue is one such occasion

You wonder how long it will take to get the attention

Reached passport office well ahead in time

But security guard halted the fast ride

Only allowed as per your time

With no convenience to rest while you wait outside

No concern on the age of those waiting

Everyone has to stand till the gates open as per their time

Kids, olders all alike , standing in line

And you wonder can't this be better organized 

There is one queue to get inside

Followed by other queue to wait for your turn at the counter

There is some respite after entering inside

You see some chairs for those needing to rest out while waiting in line

You imagined tatkal would be fast

But with one counter everyone got aghast

Random strangers striking a conversation

Because their kids happen to be at the same junction

You wonder how come is it the case ? 

One has chocolate and other whining she wants the same 

Parents exchanging notes on parenting 

Passing time while waiting

Kids being told to be nice and share

And they ask what I would get in return for my share 

Some kids mingle and enjoy

While adults is hurry start acting like child

Who was ahead and who was behind 

Becomes the trending topic for the rest in line

You wonder though the physical queue will end

The queue constructed in mind will keep piling up in your head

Scores of things to do 

never relishing enough with what you do

Always something to improve or add further on

and the saga goes on.......
