Third Level Summary in English

Charley was 31 years old man married to Louisa. Several times he had lost himself in the Grand Central Station. He always found himself bumping into new doorways and new corridors. Every time he had a new experience. He even had begun to believe that the Grand Central was like a huge tree ever pushing new tunnels and new corridors like the roots under the ground. Once he got into a mile long tunnel and came out in the lobby of a hotel. At another time, he came up into the building of an office.
There were certainly only two levels at the Grand Central. But Charley asserted that there were three levels. He talked about it to his friends. One of them was a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said that it was nothing but day-dreaming. He explained that it was only an escape from his present life. The modern world was full of fear, tension and worries. The third level provided him an exit from it.

His other friends agreed with the psychiatrist. They said that his stamp collecting was also a temporary escape.

Charley did not agree with them. He said that his grandfather started the stamp collection. And in his grandfather’s days, life was peaceful. He did not need an escape. Besides, President Roosevelt also collected stamps.

One day, Charley got late from his office. He wanted to reach home soon. So he went to the Grand Central to catch a train. He walked down to the first level, and then walked down another flight of stairs. He thought he had reached the second level again. But he got lost. He walked down a corridor. He thought it was wrong. But he walked on downward. He walked down a short flight of stairs. He thought that he had reached the second level again. But actually he had reached the third level.

The third level was entirely different and old-fashioned. There were fewer ticket windows. The information booth was made of wood. The lights were open flame gas lights. There were brass spittoons on the floor. Men had beards and sideburns. Women wore old-fashioned dresses and high buttoned shoes. The railway engine was small with a funnel shaped stack. Everything looked a century old. He walked to the newsboy. There he glanced at “The World”. The lead story was about President Cleveland. Later Charley found out from the library files that it was printed on June 11, 1894.

Charley wanted to go to Galesburg. He had been there in his childhood days. It was a wonderful town with tremendous tress and frame houses. In 1894, it was a heaven of peace and tranquility. People lived a carefree life. So he asked for two tickets to Galesburg. He paid the fare in modern notes which were different from those in 1894. The clerk thought the notes were fake and Charley was trying to cheat him. He threatened to get him arrested. Charley immediately turned around and fled as fast as he could.

Next day, Charley bought old-style notes from a coin dealer. He got only two hundred old dollars for three hundred new dollars. But he could never again find the corridor that led to the third level.

Charley’s wife was worried when she heard that he had bought old-style notes. So, Charley turned to his stamp collection. One day, among his grandfather’s collection of first day covers, he discovered an envelope. The postmark showed that it had been there since July 18, 1894. He opened the envelope but the paper inside was not blank. It was a letter from Sam, the psychiatrist friend whom Charley had often told about Galesburg. He had already gone there. He urged Charley to continue to look for the third level and join him in the Galesburg of 1894. It was a wonderful place.

Later Charley learnt that Sam had bought eight hundred dollars’ worth of old currency. Charley hoped Sam would have set up hay and feed business in Galesburg. And that was what he had always wished to do.

Third Level Summary in Hindi

न्यूयॉर्क में, ग्रैंड सेंट्रल स्टेशन के दो स्तर हैं। बहरहाल, चार साल के शहर के निवासी चार्ली ने बातचीत की कि तीसरे स्तर पर मौजूद है। इसके अलावा, वह दावा करता है कि वह वहां मौजूद है। इस समस्या के बारे में बात करने के लिए वह एक मनोचिकित्सक मित्र से मिलने जाता है। वह इसे “चलने का सपना पूरा करना” कहते हैं और चार्ली के मनोविज्ञान को यह कहकर समझाते हैं कि “आधुनिक दुनिया भय, असुरक्षा, युद्ध और चिंता से भरी है …” और हर कोई वास्तविकता से कुछ “अस्थायी शरण” में भागना चाहता है। ” उसके लिए, स्टांप कलेक्शन जैसे शौक इस पलायन का सूचक है।

कई बार ग्रांड सेंट्रल स्टेशन चार्ली के लिए एक भूलभुलैया की तरह लगता है। मेट्रो लेते समय पहले वह एक-दो बार रास्ता भटक गया था। एक बार उन्होंने रूजवेल्ट होटल की लॉबी में प्रवेश किया। जबकि दूसरी बार वह एक कार्यालय की इमारत में दिखाई दिया जो तीन ब्लॉक दूर थी। हालांकि, इस बार वह अपना रास्ता खो देता है और कुछ अनोखा होता है। चार्ली ने तीसरे स्तर का दौरा किया!

मूक दालान में, चार्ली नीचे घूमता रहता है, बाएं मुड़ता है, और नीचे की ओर ढलान लेता है, जब तक कि वह एक वास्तुशिल्प रूप से पुराने स्टेशन को नहीं छू लेता है, जो दो परिचित स्तरों से पूरी तरह से अलग है। इसके अलावा, कम टिकट काउंटर और ट्रेन गेट्स, एक लकड़ी के सूचना बूथ, खुली लौ गैस लाइट्स और पीतल की गिट्टियों के साथ यह पुराना छोटा कमरा। यह सब उन्हें 1800 के दशक की वास्तुकला की याद दिलाता है। इसके अलावा, वह लोगों को पुराने आउटफिट में देखता है। जब उन्होंने समाचार पत्र noticed द वर्ल्ड ’में तारीख देखी तो उन्हें 11 जून 1894 दिखाई दिया। जब वह दो टिकट खरीदने की कोशिश करते हैं, तो उन्हें पता चलता है कि उन्हें पुरानी मुद्रा की आवश्यकता है।

वह हमेशा अपनी पत्नी लुइसा के साथ गल्सबर्ग की यात्रा करना चाहते थे। उसके सिर में, यह “एक अद्भुत शहर है, जिसमें बड़े पुराने फ्रेम हाउस, विशाल लॉन और जबरदस्त पेड़ हैं …”। इस जगह पर सुखद और लंबी गर्मियों की सुबहें हैं और जहां लोगों के पास पर्याप्त समय है। इसलिए, अगले दिन दोपहर के भोजन के दौरान, वह पुरानी मुद्रा के लिए तीन सौ डॉलर का आदान-प्रदान करता है, केवल कुछ दो सौ तक। इसके अलावा, राशि उसे परेशान नहीं करती है क्योंकि वह मानता है कि वहां सब कुछ सस्ता होगा। हालांकि, वह फिर कभी उस गलियारे को नहीं खोज सका जो उसे तीसरे स्तर तक ले जाता है।

जब उसकी पत्नी को इस बारे में पता चला तो उसने उसे देखने से रोकने के लिए कहा। अप्रत्याशित रूप से, उसका दोस्त सैम वेनर भी गायब हो जाता है और उसकी पत्नी सप्ताहांत में उसकी तलाश करती रहती है। इसके अलावा, सैम वह था, जिसके बारे में चार्ली ने गैलेसबर्ग के बारे में अपना विचार साझा किया था।

चार्ली को अपने दादा से स्टांप कलेक्शन का शौक विरासत में मिला। और किसी दिन स्टांप संग्रह को देखते हुए, चार्ली को एक पत्र मिलता है जो पहले नहीं था। इसके अलावा, इसमें राष्ट्रपति गारफ़ील्ड की तस्वीर के साथ एक फीका छह-सेंटी स्टैंप पर पोस्टमार्क है। इसके अलावा, लिफाफा 18 जुलाई 1894 को गैलिसबर्ग में चार्ली के दादा के रूप में पढ़ा गया और यह चार्ली को संबोधित करता है।

पत्र में, सैम चार्ली से कहता है कि वह गैलेसबर्ग पहुंच गया है और वह चार्ली और लुईसा को आमंत्रित करता है। स्टांप और सिक्का की दुकान पर जाने के बाद उसे पता चलता है कि सैम ने गैलसबर्ग में अपना व्यवसाय स्थापित करने के लिए पुराने मुद्रा बिलों के लिए आठ सौ डॉलर का आदान-प्रदान किया। इसके अलावा, सैम चार्ली के मनोचिकित्सक के अलावा और कोई नहीं था!

तीसरे स्तर के माध्यम से, लेखक आधुनिक दुनिया से शांतिपूर्ण और काफी पुराने समय तक भागना चाहता है।
