“So many things were happening outside the window, it could be a fascinating game.” What could be a fascinating game? When did the narrator think so? What things did the narrator perceive as the train reached and left Saharanpur? Class 12 | English (The Eyes Have It) 6 Marks

Ans:

Since the narrator was blind, guessing what went on outside the window was a fascinating game to him.

The narrator thought so when the girl got off at Saharanpur and a new traveller boarded the compartment. The narrator sat in front of the window and stared into the daylight that was darkness for him.

As the train reached the Saharanpur station, the narrator heard the shouting of porters and vendors outside and a shrill female voice near the carriage door, presumably belonging to the girl’s aunt. There occurred a confusion in the doorway while a man was getting into the compartment. As the train was leaving Saharanpur station, the narrator perceived the speed of the train, the song of the wheels and the groan of the carriage.
