Strange Apprehensions of Simple People About Railway Train
A piece of Afsana, written and read by Bhisham Sahni, about the feelings and concerns of simple elderly people on arrival of the train at a village railway station. They thought it to be an intrusion in their tranquil lives. A master weaver of words, Bhisham’s narrative evokes a deep sense of nostalgia.
Bhisham was a renowned Hindi, English, and Russian literature writer. The younger brother of well-known film actor Balraj Sahni. Both belonged to my hometown, Bhera, district Sargodha. For details about them, see Wikipedia and the website, bhera.org.
