   The Meeting Pool is an interesting Story of three friends Written by Ruskin Bond. The Entire story is narrated by Rusty. The story Meeting Pool is based on Pledge to return to their favourite  pool after ten years. There are three main characters in the story Rusty, Anil and Somi.

   The Writer has described the beauty of nature and Village Life. The Children from Village passing their time by buffalo riding , fishing , swimming in the pool and Wrestling. These all thing makes story more beautiful and intresting.

The Turning point of Story

      Rusty feel alone when he lost his friend, Somi joined Army School after passing Metric exam and Anil shifted Delhi with his family. Rusty remembered his childhood siting at meeting pool and missed his friends.

After Reading This story I remember The Movie "3 Idiots"  directed by Rajkumar Hirani. This movie also based on the life of three best friend.

     At the end of The Story "The meeting pool"Rust came after 10 years on 5th april at their meeting pool to see that  his friends came to keep their promise but nobody comes there and Rusty thought that they are busy with there life. But near their meeting pool there is another pool and there children are swimming and playing. Rusty imagined him in that children. So we can say that writer use child psychology in this story to write  about Village Life, nature and friendship.
