It was a very crowded station. There were crowded tea stalls at the
station. I saw comic books and my father bought them as I had
convinced him. There were many people travelling on that train. We
settled down in the train and my father kept all the luggage below our
seats.
Once the loud whistle was blown, the train started leaving the station.
My mother allowed me to sit near the window. I saw vast green fields
and farmers with their cattle. We crossed big and small trees, rocky
hills, and rivers. It was a memorable journey!
