What Queues Stand For Today
Mint Chennai
|June 02, 2025

As a kid, Bertie had queued to buy train and movie tickets, often dreading the disappointment that would lurk at the end of it, in the form of a 'House Full' or 'Closed for Lunch' board. Once that happened, a tout would accost whichever elder Bertie was with, offering the same ticket at an exorbitant premium.
Those queues were symptomatic of an India with inadequate supply, opaque processes and brazen rent-seeking by connected middlemen. Thankfully, most of those queues are now behind us.
