Last Sunday we decided to visit the Trade Fair. We found a long queue at bus stop. Men and women, young and old, all were standing in a queue.

Some were talking about the politics. Some of them were gossiping. Some gentlemen were busy reading the newspapers.

All of them were waiting for the bus. In a few minutes the queue became longer than before. After waiting for some times, we saw a bus coming. Every one became ready to board the bus. It did not stop at the stand and passed

by us.

After sometime, we again saw a bus. It stopped. The queue broke. Young men can push, pull and drag others. But women simply cannot do this. Some young men boarded it. They remained helpless spectors.

The scene on a bus-stop shows how backward we Indians are. I have seen persons pushing down ladies, young and old, in their attempt to get into a bus.

We cancelled our programme. We decided to visit the Trade Fair some other day.
