Railway Station

A railway station is place where trains stop for the passengers to get into and get off from the train. It is a busy place. It becomes very busy because of the arrival of trains. Here the passengers are found to stand in a queue [সারি] to collect their tickets in front of the ticket counter. A big station is always crowded with passengers, hawkers, and porters [বাহক]. There are bookstalls, book-sellers and waiting rooms in such a stations. Vendors [বিক্রেতা] shout their trade cries. When a train reaches at 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 [সঙ্ঘর্ষ] of two groups of passengers takes place. The whistling sound of the departing [বিদায়ী] train creates a situation of vacuum [শূন্যতা] in the minds of the passengers. When the train leaves the station, it becomes deserted [জনশুন্য] and buzzing sound of the passengers ends. A railway station is often a den [অকর্মের আড্ডা] for the anti-social [অসামাজিক] elements. It is a suitable place for the beggars to carry on their trade. It is an unhygienic [অস্বাস্থ্য] place too. The authority should look into it.
