I was on my way to my aunt’s gruhapravesham in a bus. After I got into the bus, conductor waited patiently for everyone to onboard the bus and then started issuing tickets from the last seat of the bus in reverse order. I started thinking, why does he start from the last, if someone gets into the bus and goes to the seat where conductor has already issued the ticket, he will have to go all the way back in the end. So it should be better to start from the front.

But then as I started thinking more about it, possible reasons started to surface. May be if he issues from last and someone on boards the bus, he will have to pass the conductor to go into the seat where conductor has already passed. So he will know the number of people who are yet to buy a ticket. If he issues from the front, he will not know how many have seated after he started issuing the ticket and now has to remember seats which were blank when he was issuing the ticket.

Things like these are the ones that only come with experience. Or evolution. So experience counts :)
