1. An hour at the Railway Station in English
Answers
Answer:
A railway platform is a world in itself. The rich and the poor, educated and illiterate as well as young and old have one aim – waiting for the train. Some talk of business, others of household affairs, still others of courts and colleges but the departure or arrival of their trains haunts the minds of all. The only subject that is of some interest to everyone is the time of arrival or departure of the train.
Life at the railway platform seems to move at a very quick pace. People rush around, some check up time of arrival or of departure of the trains, while others go to buy tickets or eatables. Some others move around the railway station and try to locate their kith and kin. Coolies (porters) and TTEs move at a slower pace; it is a matter of routine for them
