Answer:
This story revolves around an eleven years old boy, Velu. Velu ran away from his house as his father was a drunkard. His father snatched away all the money that he and his sister earned and would beat them. Being fed up with this everyday beating, he decided to run away from home. After roaming around in Coonoor for a whole day, he got into Kanyakumari express. He got into the train without a ticket as he had no money.
He reached Chennai Central station. Velu saw that there were a lot of people all around who are in a hurry. He could also hear the announcements from the loudspeaker. Velu had traveled in an unreserved coach where people were playing cards and screaming the whole night. Thus, he was unable to sleep and was feeling weak. Also, his legs were trembling. He was feeling lonely in a new place and sat on a bench.
