The entire proceedings of the railway station mirror the
events that we encounter in our daily life, if not
directly.
In the beginning, Tagore expresses the way in
which there are people everywhere, trying to achieve their goal (which happens to be
purchasing a ticket, in this case). In life, too, here's a great jostle when it comes to
grabbing opportunities in impatience - everyone wants to get their way, and
fast.
The parallel failures and succeses that dfferent
groups of people experience is also expresed in the poem. Tagore shows us how the ones
that take a little extra effort manage to catch the train, whereas some others miss
theirs by mere minutes. This is a situation rampant in our daily lives, charecterised by
the anecdote 'Time and Tide Wait for No Man'.
Life is a
canvas indeed, as the poem avidly portrays. Circumstances and situations can change with
the blink of an eye, aquaintances can be made or broken. Our entire life seems to be a
juxtapositin of contradicting events.
