[Porters, hawkers, stalls, beggars-local trains arrived one after another-pouring out streams of commuters-swallowed in incredible numbers of passengers and left-the train in which your relative had travelled slowly rolled in-met him-porter engaged-came out-stood in a long queue-for a cab-your turn came-relief.]
A Busy Scene Of A Busy Station
One day I had to go to Howrah station to receive my maternal uncle. The time was in the pick office4 hours in the morning. I could hear the hubbub from quite a long distance away from the station. The first thing I did at the station was to buy the platform ticket. The ticket checkers at the gates then checked the ticket. When I entered the main part of the station I saw a sea of people. There were porters, hawkers, beggars in the jostling crowd in the station. There were also different stalls there selling various articles. Local trains are arriving in the platforms of the station one after another with thousands of passengers. Hundreds of them were also found boarding the trains to reach their own places. In the meantime, the train in which my relative was travelling reached station and I met him. Then we came out of the station with the porter carrying the luggage. We stood in a long queue for a cab. I heaved a sigh of relief at last when our turn came and then started for home.
