“The Night Train at Deoli” by Ruskin Bond

Ruskin Bond used to spend his summer at his grandmother’s house in

Dehradun. While taking the train, he always had to pass through a small station called Deoli. No one
used to get down at the station and nothing happened there. Until one day he sees a girl selling fruit and
he is unable to forget her.

What Is Great About It: Ruskin Bond is a writer who can communicate deep feelings in a simple way.
This story is about our attachment to strangers and why we cherish (value or appreciate deeply) them
even though we do not meet them ever again.
