Population explosion 1

Urmi Banerjee
Today, another scenario caught my attention. I went to book my railway ticket under Tatkal scheme wherein one can book ticket only two days prior to the date of journey rather than the normal practice of booking the ticket at least two months ago.I reached the railway ticket booking counter at 4:15 AM. I was shocked to see the crowd there as if it was a mid-day in a shopping center or a busy stock exchange.
Such a huge no of people against a negligible number of seats or bearth to be booked? What is creating the problem. I think the population.
For me it was annoying not because I would not be able to book the ticket. It was annoying because of the question that came to my mind..."Have we already entered the phase of population explosion?" Simple question but the concern. Very dangerous. I am sure, very few people actually think about population explosion.
If such a situation happens now, what if we look ten years down the line.
