A true picture of a Railway Station, and an impressive one.

Indian railway station never sleeps and indeed a paradise to all king or pauper alike....hustle and bustle and such commotion are common and shrieking and chugging of trains to and fro and screaming of people around rather bring joy and pleasure momentarily indeed a retreat from far from madding crowd to screaming and noisy yet happy, cheerful and charming crowd........Valsa.....an emotions packed great write........

Dear Prof, Excellent work. I was very much involved in reading this poem, each and every paragraph is interesting and reveals what an Indian Railway station is, especially, wayfarers who have no shelters occupy the empty corners, lay down their tired torsos and soon wafted into sleep and glide into a world of oblivion, but broken by disturbing dreams and the bite of swarming mosquitoes.; And finally, not less important about what happens in the dark pockets around the station!

I worked in the City of New York and resided in the Borough of Brooklyn. I know how it feels to be amidst all of the hustle and bustle of commuting on the trains and standing on the platforms waiting for the train to arrive. Lots of noises and commotion hardly can hear your own voice amidst it all. Trains were a haven for the homeless and the underground subways told tales of all events that happened under the cover of darkness. Truly a great write from a great Poet and brings back memories.

Lovely imagery created here. Enjoyed being at a Rly.Stn

So much activity in railway stations, and you have captured it admirably here Valsa. Well penned.

i wish you had something to talk to be of those souls who have lost themselves in abyss of perennial afflictions.

Wonderful, though a very familiar live image. while reading half way thru, i was about to ask hey, stations are not always submerged in unusual din as you have drawn, but, instantly was the rest of them all and the ambiance detailed. Good, though not much of worthy Valsa penning permeated deep. I feel often very dejected, even thinking of the silently slumbering cold station in full, where only the distant signal remains an afflicted witness to the dream-lost victims. Your lines at the end reminded me of my often haunted nocturnal realities.

I love the hustle and bustle of a busy railway station with people going to and from places and the noise of the trains. A good write.

You paint with words such a vivid picture of an indian railway station, all of life is here with people in different situations as they mix freely together, I could feel the atmosphere of the hustle and bustle of the large crowd! Beautiful write!

:) railway station always a treat to our eyes..

A good picture of an Indian railway station

A vivid portrait of things we often see and hear and you have brought out the fair and the foul alike on this canvas of an all time panorama. But it is not at all a usual 'Valsa George poem'! The woman in heavy make up could have been spared or sent out of the platform for a while or you could have skipped her for better reasons I feel..

Train of thoughts flowing with beautiful observations of what goes on at the station day and night. Nice poem. Please read one of my early poems 'At the Airport' when you have time. Thank you
