One of the best things about being an urban sketcher is that waits are no longer annoying. The other day I was at the post office. There were about four people waiting for their turn at the speed post counter. And, suddenly without any explanation, they closed the shutters.
We could hear the officials talking away inside and some odd banging noises. After some time, one of the officials strolled up and said they are repairing the shutter.
After some odd 30 mins, we were asked to move to a back entrance. And, amidst the scuffle, the lines were formed again. An elderly gentleman finally found a seat - and was then informed that the person in charge of speed post was having lunch (at 11.30 AM!!)
The 2 hours odd wait to send out one parcel was much more tolerable because I was caught up doing this sketch!
