Essay on An Hour at the Railway Station.

An Hour at The Railway Station

The day had finally arrived when the summer vacations had begun and the school was over. I was going to my aunt’s place, to spend an exciting and enjoyable vacation there. I checked the train timings and was ready for the journey. I reached the station and bought my ticket. I realized that I was an hour early. I was so excited that in a hurry I had reached the station so early. As I entered the station the first thing that caught my eye was the shoe-shine boys, who were sitting on the platform floor. I had to cross an overpass to reach my platform. There was a lot of chaos and crowd on the overpass. The people were struggling and pushing each other. It was very frightening to walk through the crowd as I was expecting a stampede at any instant.

As I stepped onto the platform, I heard an announcement that my train was going to arrive in 45 minutes. I found a quiet spot to sit, behind a tea stall. As I was leaving my town, I took an unusual interest in all the things that I saw. There were many people on the platform, some were calm and minding their own business but some were looking worried or confused because they weren’t able to find their way maybe. There was a faint smell of freshly fried snacks on the platform due to the numerous stalls all over the platform. At a nearby stall, a group of men was discussing political affairs while sipping hot tea. A small boy was crying and insisting on his father for a bar of chocolate from a nearby stall.

A train hauled on the station, it wasn’t mine. A huge mob of people poured out of the train and scattered over the platform. In the mob, a man was searching worriedly for something on the platform. A lady was struggling with her luggage and her child, looking frustrated. A group of soldiers too got down the train. They had happy and glowing faces as they approached a small group of people at the edge of the platform. The small groups were family or relatives of the soldiers. I was rejoiced to look at the family reunion.

Another train arrived at the platform and this time it was mine. I settled on my seat and checked all my luggage. I was looking out of the window as the train started gathering speed, as I left the station behind. The wheels found their rhythm, beating time with the rails and singing a song.

Your room has been untidy for a long time and your parents have been urging you to tidy it. Narrate your experience and what did this experience teach you.

Tidying my room I haven’t always been an enthusiast in cleaning and tidying my surroundings. So, my room is very untidy for my parents and they have always been urging me to tidy it. I love my things scattered in the room and am least bothered to tidy them. But the day finally came when there was no place to walk on the floor, no place on the bed to sleep, no place on the table and I finally decided to tidy things up. Firstly, I decided to clear the mess on the floor so that it would be easier for me to walk while cleaning the room. I exercise every day so the yoga mat was spread on one corner on which I had tripped many times. So I rolled it and kept it under the shelf. Those days I was engaged in a new hobby of painting and I felt that there is no better place to do painting than on the floor. So all the art stuff was scattered and I had to gather them up. I arranged the paint bottles in their case along with the brushes and kept them on the shelf with the sketchbook. T

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's live believing it is stupid

Hello friends, I am back with another informative essay on a beautiful thought I came across by Albert Einstein. This thought has a very clear message that is applicable to entire mankind and if brought into practice, believe me, you can do wonders! I am sure you might be eager to read the essay so let's begin with it. Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its life believing it is stupid. This famous quote by Albert Einstein is completely true. There is no deep meaning here but a clear message that people cannot be good at everything and if you try to judge them by the things they are not good at, you would end up discouraging them and they might even live their whole life believing that they are of no good. The thought here is presented through animals. As we all know that a fish is the most incredible swimmer but you cannot judge it by its ability to climb a tree nor by its ability to fly. Similarly, we can
