In the third episode, we present to you, The Night Train at Deoli, by Ruskin Bond, a tale of adolescent infatuation presented with great sensitivity. Woven against the backdrop of Deoli, the story represents the essence of the author's romanticism by representing a strange meeting artistically. The unspoken words and the eloquent conversation, the pale beauty of the girl and the light in her eyes when she meets the author, the narrator's impulse to take her with him and the intense eagerness to see her, and finally the unknown destiny of the girl, all add to the feeling of romance.

Ruskin Bond's writing feels like the rhythmic splatter of rain on your window. His works indeed represent the prime of literature in India.
