Sunday Morning Queues.

On a sunday morning, my dad realised i am not much of an use staying at home and told me to accompany him to Reliance Fresh. I put some movie for download and went along. Firstly ,the moment i entered the shop i knew i made a mistake by coming. It was overflowing with men in shorts. I managed to stick around near the lays section and was picking few food items. After everything was done, My dad told me to stand in queue for billing. He told he will pick few more items and join me. I stood behind all the men in shorts with big bellies. After some 20 mins of endeavour 2 more people were before me for the billing. Then i realised few of the newly joining men were looking at me to see whether i will realise if they nudge their way into the line before me. I still stood firmly by giving them mean looks. Then they decided i wouldnt let them. Then some random guy pops in from somewhere and stands next to me on my right. I did not undeerstand his intention. The queue was lengthwise. What the hell was he doing to my right. Then i felt some urge in me to tell him to go back.. I told him " Sir, Back" pointing my thumb behind. He did not seem to hear the first time. I repeated again. He suddenly looked at me and he told " Oh ! There is a queue? Sorry " and he went back. I immediately wanted to write about this in my blog as i made a person do the correct thing. Then one more person was before me. Then one or two people came befpre me and holding 1 or 2 vegetables in their hand. Then when it was my turn i pushed my trolley front. Then he looked at me and made a sad face and told " Only 2 items". I did not know what to do . I just let them get their bill . Waited for my turn and got mine.
Later that day when i told my dad about these he started with " if people are like this India will never..." I knew it was my cue to go up .
