When i (I) was at college, I use (used) to spend my
summer holidays at dehra (Dehra), at my Grandmother's place.
I stay there in the hills from early may until late in July. Deoli
was a small station about thirty miles from Dehra.
The train used to reach Deoli at about five in the
morning, when the station was poorly lit with oil lamps, and
the jungle across the railway line was just visible in the early
light of day. Deoli only had one platform, a waiting room, and
an office for the stationmaster. On the platform there was a tea
stall, a fruit seller, and a few thin, hungry dogs; not much else,
because the train stopped there for only ten minutes before
rushing on into the forests.
'No,' No, I said, 'I don't want a basket.' suddenly filled
with light. We said nothing for some time, but we each knew
what the other was feeling.
This time I did not forgot (forget) her. She was with me
for the rest of the journey, and for long afterwards. All that
year she was a bright, living thing in my mind. And when
college finished, I packed and left for Dehra earlier than usual,
but I never found her. Now, she´s only a nice memory.

I used to wonder what happened in deoli (Deoli),

behind the station walls. I always felt sorry for that lonely little
platform, and for the place that nobody wanted to visit. I
decided that one day I would get off the train at Deoli, and
spend the day there, just to please the town. I was eighteen,
visiting my grandmother, and the night train stopped at Deoli.
A girl come (comes) down the platform, selling baskets. It was
a cold morning and the girl had a shawl thrown across her
shoulders. Her feet were bare and her clothes were old, but she
was a young girl, walking like a queen.
