As election fever peaked last week, I was reminded of how long I waited in line to cast my vote in 2013. I stood in the queue for so long that I started chatting with the two women in front of me.

And I was not alone – all around in different lines, strangers became friends and talked about the usual stuff – business, money, family and so on.
