How do we know that Suraj likes trains?
Suraj waved to a passing train and kept waving until only the spiralling smoke remained. This implies he has a fascination with trains and often takes time to wave at them. He also wondered about the people in them and where they were going. Moreover, moving trains, crowded trains, and shrieking, panting trains all fascinated him and he had always wanted to be in a train that would take him to strange new places.

About the Author - The Great Train Journey | New Oxford Modern English | Class 6 Literature | English
Ruskin Bond is a renowned Indian author of British descent known primarily for his works of children's literature. His birth, on 19th May 1934, was in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, and most of his writing is inspired by the Himalayan landscapes. He penned his first novel, "The Room on the Roof," at the tender age of seventeen, which earned him the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Bond's repertoire includes over a hundred books, including novels, collections of stories, poetry, essays, travelogues, and children's books.
His popular works include the Rusty series, A Flight of Pigeons, The Blue Umbrella, Angry river, and The Cherry Tree. Bond's writing is characterized by his deep love for nature and the simple joys of life—themes that resonate with children and adults alike. Apart from literary acclaim, Bond was also recognized with a Sahitya Akademi award and the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan awards for his immense contribution to Indian literature. Despite having British roots, Ruskin Bond chose to make India his home, residing in Landour, Mussoorie. He continues to enchant readers with his timeless tales.
