"A visit to a Bank"

I  missed writing an essay in school on this topic. 

Last week, as I was waiting in the queue at a bank, I tried to recall, why my English teacher, never came up

with this subject for an essay.

With more than 20 people ahead of me, I had ample time to wonder, how my initial lines of 

this essay would have been, if my school had given me this topic to write.

So 19 years back, my starting lines would have been.....

Yesterday, I visited a bank in my area. There was a security guard at the gate, holding

a gun in his hand. As I entered the bank, I could see, different counters for Depositing and 

withdrawing cash.

Some people in the queue were holding a Paying in slip to deposit money.

Some others had a token in hand, with a number printed on it. They were waiting for their token number to be called out, to approach the counter.

Senior citizens at the bank, were given seats as they could not stand in queue for long. Bank staff was friendly and attending to each customer at a time.

When I approached the counter.....

I didn't get time to take my school essay further.........

My  turn came up & the security guard [ he didn’t have a gun in hand,this time] let me in. 

I entered the bank premises.

19 years on, the scene inside the bank was no different from my essay.....
