A Banal Story! An abrupt encounter in a railway coach! It did not take them much time to recognize each other when they were traveling in the same coach but they preferred to keep quiet until it was time for her to get out off the train at the next station when casually just gazing at the fast vanishing blue sky through the window of the running train, she asked ; “The days we spent together and now gone, have we lost them all?” The question took him long back down the memory lane and he could not respond to her instantly! He waited sometimes and then uttered slowly the gist of the famous line that he read long before: “All the stars that shine in the night hide behind the fathomless depth of the daylight!” She got off the train when the train finally stopped at the next station without telling a word to him and he continued his journey to his destination, unsure of his answer to her. This short story has no similarity or nothing to do with “Banal Story” by Ernest Hemingway which was first published in the spring/summer 1926 issue of Little Review. This story however relates to a famous poem read by people like me in another language written by a Nobel Laureate. I trust that all who had read the poem could have guessed the name of the poet by now! This story may also take us down the memory lane. Based on the poem হঠাৎ দেখা/The accidental meeting by Rabindranath Tagore.     |

It makes me happy always to read from you here on this page of mine. The shortest story I posted tells about two persons who were in love once upon a time! They could not forget each other though the relationship has fallen apart! It was nice talking to you in the chat room last night! Stay well and happy, Deborahsu. Regards.
