The Girl on the Train by Ruskin Bond
"I thought of running away with Kamla. When I mentioned it to her, her eyesit up. She thought it would be great fun. Women inove can be more reckless than men! But I had read too many stories about runaway marriages ending in disaster, and Iacked the courage to go through with such an adventure. I must have known instinctively that it would not work. Where would we go, and how would weive? There would be no home to crawl back to, for either of us.' Seldom do we come across a person whoeaves behind an impression on our very being. Call it being enamoured or moved, the memories we shared with them can catch us unawares even years down theine. It is not for the world to decipher what bond we shared and nurtured with them, or how real or surreal it was. This is our secret alone, meant to be kept close to the heart. In The Girl on the Train, we see tales ofonging andost bonds being traced again in Ruskin Bond's simplistic narration. With these stories, you might once again walk down the memoryane of all those cherished moments gone by.
