WB BOARD CLASS 12 SEMESTER III - CHAPTER 1: THE NIGHT TRAIN AT DEOLI @englishwithsharmistha ​ Summary: The story "The Night Train at Deoli" follows an eighteen-year-old college student who regularly travels by night train to spend his summer vacations at his grandmother’s house in Dehra. During these journeys, the train always stops for ten minutes at Deoli, a small, isolated station on the edge of the Indian Terai jungles. The First Encounter On one such trip, the narrator encounters a young girl selling baskets on the Deoli platform. He is immediately captivated by her "quiet dignity" and her "dark, troubled eyes". Although they barely speak, a strong silent connection is formed. Just as the train is about to depart, he buys a basket from her, and the image of her smiling as the platform recedes stays with him throughout his summer. The Second Encounter Two months later, on his return journey, the narrator is thrilled to find the girl waiting on the platform again. Their meeting feels like that of "old friends," and though they remain mostly silent, their eyes are "eloquent" with shared emotion. The narrator feels a powerful impulse to take her away with him, but he must continue to Delhi. Before his train pulls away, he holds her hand and promises to return. The Search and Disappearance The narrator spends the following year obsessed with the memory of the girl, describing her as a "bright, living thing" in his mind. He returns to Dehra earlier than usual the next summer, eager to see her. However, when the train reaches Deoli, the girl is gone. He frantically asks the station master and a tea stall owner about her, but he only learns that she has "stopped coming" and no one knows her whereabouts. The Resolution Deeply disappointed and filled with a sense of foreboding, the narrator considers breaking his journey at Deoli to search the town for her. Ultimately, he decides against it, fearing what he might discover—whether she had married, fallen ill, or disappeared entirely. He chooses instead to keep his memories untainted by reality. Years later, he continues to pass through Deoli, always looking out the window with the hope of seeing her face again, preferring to live in the "game" of hoping and dreaming rather than facing a potentially painful truth.
