Question

When, how and why did the narrator arrive at ambla?

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.
