                                  A Journey by Boat

A Journey by Boat is really thrilling. It was during EID vacation. I had come to my native village with my cousins. As we had no work there, we found the village life very dull. Suddenly an idea struck in my mind and soon we decided to go on a journey by boat. A day was fixed for the journey. The river was not too far.

On the fixed day we took our bags and some things to eat and started for the river bank on foot. As we had already hired a boat, we found it ready. The boat was small but it was beautifully decorated. There were two boat-men who instructed us to set properly on both the sides of the boat.

It was morning and the sky was clear. A fine cool breeze was blowing. As soon as we took our seats in the boat, it began to move on water. They were really thrilling movements in our life. We all were in high spirit.

The' boat was moving gently. The river water was shining in the rays of the sun and was presenting a beautiful scene. It looked white like silver. There were many more boats of different shapes and sizes sailing in the river. There were men, women and children in those boats. The children were very excited and were shouting with joy.

All of a sudden the cool breeze stopped blowing and we felt a bit hot. One of my cousins suggested enjoying cold drink which we had brought in our bag. Soon it was midday and we decided to take our lunch. Up to this time we were on the other side of the river. The boatmen tied the boat to the bank and guided us to a restaurant. We took our meals. We enjoyed tea too. Then we started our return journey.

The return journey was little bit difficult because the boat was going against the current. Naturally the boatmen had to work hard at the oars. As the currents of the river were not in favour, the speed of the boat was not fast as it was in the beginning of the journey so it took much time and soon we saw that the sun was about to set.

It was really a glorious sun set we had ever seen. The sun's rays made everything red.The weather was quite clear when we started and we were very happy that our return journey was also safe. But soon we were horrified to hear the cry, "storm" We were in the middle of the river. The water rose high and it dashed against the boat. The boatmen worked harder and harder. It seemed that life is slipped from our hands. We started praying to God. Soon the boatmen cried, the bank!' the bank!" We took a sigh of relief. We reached the bank safely. We thanked god and thanked the boatmen.

Ten years have passed since then but the memory of that boat journey is still fresh in mind. Sometime I remember its sweet moments and sometimes its horrible moments.

                                    A Journey by Train

Journey is a source of pleasure. Everyone has a fascination for making journey. I fond of train journey very much because it is very pleasant and enjoyable to me. Yes; I had travelled last year with my parents to Chittagong from Dhaka by Subarna Express in order to attend the marriage ceremony of my cousin who stays there.

It was the month of December. The weather was pleasant. We started for Chittagong from Dhaka Railway Station. We spent the night in the train.Outside it was dark, and nothing could be seen.My parents went to sleep in their berths, but I did not feel sleepy. For me, it was a thrilling journey.

I was being carried away far from Chittagong every minute and every hour. In the calmness of the night, the noise of the wheels created by the motion of the train seemed rhythmical. The dim light overhead added to a mystic atmosphere. It was perhaps only me, the lone traveller, who kept himself awake so late at night in the compartment. I do not remember when I fell asleep.

In the morning, I got up at about 7 A.M. I looked outside. The stations were passing fast before my eyes. The land, the towns, the mills, the villages-all of them composed a unique picturesque and pleased my eye. It was a new experience for me to see another division of Bangladesh.The stations like  Dhaka,Sylhet,Rajshahi were so long known to me only through the pages of geography.

We reached Chittagong in the afternoon. Our cousin came to receive us at the Chittagong Railway Station with his Fiat car. His residential flat was very nice. It was near the Marine Drive. This was first time that I visited Chittagong.

The wedding ceremony was simple. A limited number of guests were invited. According to the Muslim rites.

Next day, we were taken by a bus of the Govt. Tourism Department, and shown all the important sights in the city. After three days, we returned to Dhaka.The memory of my Chittagong visit remains as a living picture with me even today.
