Summary of the night train at deoli written by ruskin bond
The Night Train at Deoli is a sensitively told tale about adolescent infatuation. It reflects the narrator’s affection for a poor basket-seller whom he meets on his way to Dehra Dun at a little station. He only meets the girl twice and never sees her again, but she stays in his mind for the rest of his life.
The narrator acknowledges that he would never interrupt his travel at Deoli since it would ruin his ‘game’—the game of attempting to identify the girl’s familiar and cheery face at the station and enjoying a rush of anticipation that brought him happiness.
