Question

"the man who had entered the compartment broke into my reverie"-who is the man ? whose reverie is referred to here ? what is meant by reverie ? what was the occasion of the remark?
​

Answer 1

Answer :

In Ruskin Bond's "The Eyes Have It", the narrator describes a train journey of his own while travelling to Rohana.

The man who is new to the compartment of the narrator is referred here.

"Reverie" means daydream and this is referred to the narrator himself as he was imagining sky and earth.

The narrator asked his new companion about the hair of the girl who just got down. The reply of the new traveller was that the girl was blind. This made the narrator go in painful shock for sure.
