Population is handy..

What is the height of blogging?

when u step in to the cyber cafe and write a post..

right..anyway

i was thinking abt this population "thingy" for quite some time since i started touring a month back..go to the airports see long queues..as middle class travels more n more by air, we hv a serious problem...leave that ..see the rly stns, they need a serious remodelling..delhi metro system was mindblowing..sth to be done in those lines..whats more, we need systems which makes supervision easier and lessens waiting time..huge capacities..

but that is not the subject of my post..

i m in delhi and hv been trying to spend 12hrs to catch tamilnadu exp, its a tough time..but population comes very handy..

for example, to walk from ajmeri gate side of teh stn to the paharganj, it took 30 mins..good crowd. ( bbay ofcourse is the star performer)..

then for teh cloak room, again a long Q. takes a min of 1 hr irrespective of teh time u enter the Q. infact i started remembering a bit of OR abt thoise queing theories with all those random numbers on waiting and servicer times.

go to a hotel, u will be served after 40-45 mins. if u ever wanted to waste time while in transit, India offers u the best solution. population explosion has never been guiven the credit that was due sadly..

think abt it, u need not try shopping, no need tp spend money, just do all the essential stuff ( i mean drudgeries) for ur journey and ur time whizzes by.

one more addon, i got this browsing centre after searching all over connaught place for 2 hours ( i mean 2 hrs seriosly). whats more, i had successfully circled the LIC building and palika bazaar 8 times. everytime i went searching i landed at the same place in different fashions. look at the marvel of indian architectuire ( or marvel at my extraordinary brain)

another 4 hrs to waste away. i m confident of handling it..time to leave for yet another engrossing searching session. soul searching session.haha

Nice post Aravindan! I feel standing in crowds and queues is good for every human being. Because it is the place where he/she loses the sense of individuality and starts realising that we are just one part of this universe. So all egos and self-pride would disappear.

Even I get reminded of queuing theory and little's theorem every time I have to wait anywhere ....

But wat irritates me is ..places where these queues are expected and a huge crowd is expected .. but still nothing is done to the system to make it better .. like my dear coll where everytime there is almost a stampede when hall tickets are given .. and every student turns barbaric!!!

@ star,

i hv a strange problem, i can walk for miles bt cant stand in a place for 10 mins..become giddy..

@ harini,

follow my policy..i get my hall tickets just 10 mins before the univ exam starts..no one will dare to get the hall ticket so late..u sure will have no crowd to complete..
