My First Visit to Dhaka

My village home is in Ullahpara village under the district of Sirajgonj. I had a great desire to visit Dhaka, the capital city in Bangladesh. Of course, my long cherished desire had at last came true when I got a chance to come to Dhaka on the occasion of one of my cousins marriage ceremony. First, I went to the Ullapara Rail Station by a rickshaw from my home. There I caught Dhaka bound the Sunderban Express, an intercity train, sharp at 2.30 a.m. At 4.30 a.m. I reached Joydevpur Rail Station where the train stopped and I promptly got into another Dhaka bound local train. I was at Kamalapur Railway Station sharp at 6.40 a.m. I was accompanied by two of my friends, Mahi and Anu, at the time of coming to Dhaka. The fascinating things I saw in Dhaka are Sadarghat Launch Terminal, Mirpur Zoo, National Museum, Ramna Park, Shishu Park, National Botanical Garden, Lalbagh Fort, Ashsan Monjil and so forth. While visiting the old part of the city I could recollect the three periods of our history, Mughal, British and Pakistani. I began to feel the past glory of our country. I was lost all along in the thought of my country's prestigious historical episode. My visit to Dhaka city was duly satisfying, to speak. No doubt, I enjoyed the visit with my heart's content.
