Scene at a Railway Station:

Railway station in a city like mine is a place of great interest and peculiarity.  When a train comes or ready to depart, the vendors are in a hurry to sell different things, which most of the time are of inferior quality.  The chaotic condition at the railway station is very common especially in all the railway stations of cities of my country.  Passengers seemed to be in a panic condition, they push one another trying to get off (detrain) the train or get on (entrain) the train.   It seems as they are afraid of losing the train and/or seat in the compartment. 

The passengers rush to catch the train, but before long, the engine whistles and the guard gives the signal, the engine begins to move, initially very slowly, but gradually gain the speed.  In this way, the trains arrive or depart throughout the day and night.  When a train arrives it gives the scene of hustle bustle, but when the train has departed, the station gets deserted. 

Same as happens our life, when a member comes in the family (a baby borns there is joy and happiness, but when a soul departed from the family, it looks like a railway station when the train has departed.  Our earthly life is like waiting for the next train at the railway station to get on and depart to the other world.

  • Thanks, Anah, that is what a typical scene we can find in our country, everywhere. 

  • The title of your blog remind me of the paragraph I read in 9th grade! :D 

    Pretty realistic blog! You have elaborated the cruel reality of life very well! 

    Thanks for the share!

  • Very good comment Saba, thanks.

  • Thanks Camel for your appreciation.

  • Thanks Tara. I first checked these two terms in dictionary then I quote here within brackets just for the benefits of the readers.

    The station in my city is called CITY STATION. (there is an other station by the name Cantt. Station).

  • Hmm, very deep! I need to think about this. 

    English Tip: This post is missing a small word at the very beginning (after the title Scene at a Railway Station). Can you figure out which word is missing? If the actual name of the station were Railway Station, it would be okay. But, I imagine it has a different name, such as Central Station or Main Station. 

    Also, I had to look up the word "entrain". This is not a common word in English, but I see that it is a word. We would normally say "get on" or "board". 

  • Thanks a lot Maria.  I am glad to see you here.
