उत्तर
I find it interesting to describe the picture given above. It is the scene of the railway platform. The train has arrived some moments before at the platform. Some passengers are loading their luggage or belongings. Coolies are seen carrying goods to and fro on the platform. There are stalls selling various things needed by the passengers. Many passengers are walking to and fro to find the platform they are to go to. Some passengers are sipping tea while others are reading newspapers. Some are before the ‘Enquiry’ seeking information about the train they are to travel in. I hear the noise and hustle and bustle of a typical railway station platform. Some rehriwalas are serving purees and vegetables. The train which is about to leave the station seems to be starting to go. On the other platform passengers are waiting for their train to come. The railway platform is giving out a typical presentation of real India.
