Question

How did the narrator while away time as he waited for the train?
Chap- The woman on platform 8; Ruskin Bond​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Woman on Platform 8 by Ruskin Bond[1][2] is a story about love and affection that transcends all barriers of kinship. It is narrated in the first person by a schoolboy named Arun.[3] All the events are seen from his point of view.

The story revolves around Arun's encounter with a stranger - a mysterious woman. The woman in a white saree treats him like a son. She offers him tea and samosa . She helps him feel comfortable. Her dignity and humanity come in sharp contrast with the vanity and arrogance of Satish's mother. Arun's calling her 'mother' at the time of parting is a sweet gesture of recognition of a loving relationship. As a matter of fact, there is no Platform 8 on the Ambala station.
