A Railway Station
A railway station is a place where trains stop for the passengers to get into and get off from them. It is a busy place. It becomes very busy because of the arrival of trains. Here passengers are found to stand in a queue to collect their tickets in front of the ticket counters. A big station is always crowded with passengers, hawkers, and porters. There are tea-stalls, book-stalls and waiting rooms in such stations. Vendors shout for the sale of their products. Who has not heard the trade cry 'Cha garam' or Thanda pani' in the railway station? When a train reaches the station, the passengers hurry to get off from the train. At the same time, passengers waiting for the train want to get into the train. As a result, a collision of two groups of passengers takes place. The whistling sound of the departing train creates a situation of vacancy in the minds of the passengers. When the train leaves the station, it becomes deserted and the buzzing sound of the passengers ends. A railway station is often a den for the anti-social elements. It is a suitable place for the beggars to carry on their trade. It is an unhygienic place too. Hawkers, porters and some unconscious passengers are responsible for it. Some floating human beings live in the station. They also make it unhygienic. The authorities should look into it.
