Woman And Honour

platform child

I stood at the railway platform. The trains were running late. The luggage compartment was adjacent to the lady compartment. No sign of the trains coming. The platform was getting crowded. One by one public increased. Beggars, sellers, fruit sellers, fish sellers, nostalgic stench spread everywhere. The dirty smell of sweat also mixed with it. The woman's perfumed face looked like a wilted wrinkled face.

There were rumours of male children stealing cases from the hospital or nursing home. If a male child is stolen from public places, the voice rose against it. Such a rumor and confusion filled platform.

One ragged saree wore woman stood on the platform. Waiting for the train. She stood with a child who was crying at the platform. Child missing is not new in Mumbai like places ....in that case she mocked of breastfeeding to the child. She held the child in both arms as embracing him like hugging or meeting each other position.

The climax was going on when one aged woman looks at her behavior and realizes that she was just playing the fake role of mother of breastfeeding ..even the child did not stop crying.

She caught her hand. She fumbled her saree to see if she actually covered the Child under it. She did not feed the child. Her blouse part was closed.

The aged woman had followed the ragged woman. She observed her behavior, her movement was oscillating. Her nervousness was increasing. one by one her heart pounded, her strokes pulsated. Moment by moment it increased. Her criminal looks detected on the obscured face. Now she thought that her plan would be disclosed before the public.

Handkerchief gangs were there waiting with the stroller babysitter. It often included a woman, standing near the luggage box. The people who sell second-hand mobile and even theft drifting mobile used to sell at Dadar TT station beside. They mostly sell baby toys and such things.

That day Ganesh festival had arrived. That hustle and bustle were carried on platform. The train was also late. it added confusion fuel into it. Misunderstanding between railway and traveler.

The handkerchief gang seemed hurried. Because they have to go first to set up the show before Ganesh decoration Mandal. Lots of people gathered there to see the decoration. They traverse at the junction, then got off at Dadar. And some at Thane station. Many couple groups were divided into them. They parted as couples at every station. There they got more crowd. They could sell more things.

A Lady train announcer blared on speaker. Extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused to local travellers due to the train late going to CST. The train arriving on platform no 2 was late due to some technical problems.

It caused local traveler's work to slow down, face the burden of tomorrow's works. It added extra work. No extra expense was given by the company in case of a train late or ...some excuses for workers in decreasing the burden of today's work.

Some were in tension that if the delivery did not reach on time, it will forfeit them. Small business holders were also scratching their heads because they had no other option but to train medium. They thought that goods or orders, if not despatched on the transport, will be canceled by the party tomorrow. Anyhow it must reach to party office by any means of transport, not in handy as a train as it consumes a low budget to get to the destination. it is convenient for anybody in the budget form.
