A snap from the garden

Everything is so natural in the village, all you eat there is from your own garden. Isn't that cool?

Ok guys that's all for today. InshaAllah I will be back (if I am alive) with more pics soon. Do pray for me and my country. We don't want it to get stained with blood and get blasted with bombs.
May Allah bless MY BELOVED SCENIC BANGLADESH. Ameen.

Guess what?

Guess what this is?

More pics.

Fruits hanging out from a tree.

River beside the village

A river is flowing just beside the village. I took a pic of it, this pic didn't come out to be very good and it was quite dark at that time, the cloudy sky says it. But I couldn't resist myself from sharing it with you ppl. This river is a small one (I guess its name is Halda, but I forgot), a branch of Karnafuli, on which lies my hometown Chittagong.

Green Village

Another pic of green paddy fields. You can see the cloudy sky which says 'it's about to rain'.

A Village

Salam everybody. Alhamdulillah I am still fine, and living, despite all those bomb blasts blooding MY BELOVED SCENIC BANGLADESH.
Here I am, back again with more pics. I recently visited a village. Here are some pics from that village. As you can see, it is full of green, the first feature of any village in Bangladesh.

A Ride in the Amusement Park

This is one of the rides of the Foy's Lake Amusement Park. (Are you raising your eyebrows? Yes, it is in Foy's Lake Amusement Park, Chittagong, Bangladesh!). This is called the dry slide. There are two dry slides, the red one and the yellow one. This ride was so fun, we went on this yellow one twice, and didn't go on the red one thinking that it wouldn't be scary at all. But later we found out that it's the red one that is scary!! (:( I am still regretting for it).
There are many other rides and I am not going to post the pictures of it, you have to pay a visit to this place to see it.
Be sure to go there when you come to my Chittagong.
That's all for today. Pray for me so that I can visit more places this vacation and upload more pics.
Take care everybody. Allah Hafiz.

View of a Hill

This is another hill you can see from Foy's Lake. The building you can see there is a restaurant, also newly built, part of the amusement park. So guys, don't need to worry about food. You can easily go to Foy's Lake and spend the whole day. If the rides make you tired and hungry, just log in and hog some food.
I heard they are building picnic spots on the top of these hills. It certainly would be a great place to enjoy then.
Bondhura, chole esho, shobai mile picnic kora jabe, ki bolo?

Foy's Lake

Salam everyone.
This time I am posting a few pics of Foy's Lake. Now they have built this amusement park in here. There are many rides offered which is part of that amusement park. You can see boats of different size. Although the amusement park has changed the whole entrance path of this lake, the natural view of Foy's Lake is still there. You can go on a boat ride from here, which will cover the whole view of the lake. I didn't go on the ride, so you guys have to be satisfied with pic of only this place.
Thanks to CONCORD GROUP (the same group that built Ashulia Fantasy Kingdom) which has done a great job, brought a drastic change to Foy's Lake. Click on the link to Foy's Lake Amusement Park on that site to see more pictures, and know more about it.
(I wanted to post this pic earlier. But I thought it is too dark and not good enough to represent the beautiful scenic Foy's Lake. But I just showed it to ishi, she said it is good enough to be posted. If you guys don't like it, blame her,not me)

Inner view

There goes another inner view of The War Cemetery. The breeze there is amazing. You can see the epitaphs of many great warriors of World War II.
(Jodio eta ekti koborsthan, ekhane prayi kopot kopotider anagona dekha jay, hayre Banggali, kono jaygai bad dilo na)
But I forgot to take a pic of the big cross that lies in the middle of it. Will post a pic of it later.
It is a really scenic place, make sure you pay a visit to it once you come to our dear CHITTAGONG.
(note: it is free of cost)

War Cemetery:Description

The war Cemetery is graveyards of the members of the Allied forces killed in the Indo-Burmese front during the World War II. In total, 755 soldiers from Australia, Britain, Canada, East and West Africa, India, New Zealand and other countries were buried in this cemetery.
It was built on the first half of the decade of 50s, located in hillside sloping place in the southwest corner of Chittagong Medical College Hospital. The total area of this cemetery is 8 acres, which is protected and supervised by the Common Wealth Graves Commission. There is an open field and beautiful garden just outside the cemetery. The whole scenery and environment of the area is eye-catching, solemn and tranquil at the same time.

Just found out this description of War Cemetery from here.

War Cemetery of Chittagong

Assalamu Alaikum dear readers,
Me back now with more pictures. This time the highlighting is on War Cemetery of Chittagong. This is what you get to see in the entrance of it. Thinking why the hell did I take a pic of it?
Well, the text written on it seemed really hilarious to me, so I thought of enframing it. At times of depression, it might add some laugh to my life. What do ya think?
Dear readers, try to find out the problems in this 'biggopti'.

Salams all.
"Tomader kache eshechi ami durer konthoshor,

Ma'assalam

Nature-our teacher

Green, green nature!

Back to nature again.
I think this pic deserves a big 'WOW'!! Anything else to say?
Oh yeah, this beautiful pic reminded me of these lines of an old song- "Tomar Srishti jodi hoy eto shundor, na jani tahole TUMI koto shundor". (by Motiur Rahman Mallick, u can listen to this song at saimum>islamic songs>akok shonggeet>motiur rohman mollik>tomar srishtee jodi)
Really, "If Your Creation is soo beautiful, I wonder how Beautiful YOU are!!"

Merry guy in the merry-go-round

Dekhi babu tomar koyti dat? 32 ta ache to?lolzzz...
OOh maaan, how I wish i cud be as young as him again!!! Is it only me who miss my childhood? Or is it you ppl too? I wanna go on that merry-go-round..... hey, a small secret, I envy this lil kid here, he is not 4 yet, and he gotta see Sylhet, but I still didn't get to. noooot faaaiiiir. n he is getting to go on all those rides and I never get to... ami tanna tobbo.

In front of a fountain

This is Haneen again in front of a beautiful fountain, again in adventure world.

Adventure World

Don't think Bangladesh is still long way behind. Besides its beautiful nature, Bangladesh is now getting packed with artificial amusement parks. Dhaka's Fantasy Kingdom, Nandan Park, Chittagong's Foy's Lake Amusement Park(will post pix of these later iA) is not all. Sylhet also has one of this type of a park, named Adventure World. Here's partial view of this from the top of a hill. One distinguishing feature of this park is that it is not fully artificial. The touch of nature still remains. (hey, ain't I good at commentating? Although I hav not yet got the chance of visiting this place (but I m dying to), what I just wrote is fact. I heard from my sis)

The Famous Shrine (Front gate)

Now you guys can see my cutey lil nephew (don't forget to say MashaAllah) in front of the Famous Shrine of Hazrat Shahjalal (RA) of Sylhet. (Hey, isn't his (my nephew's) shades cool?) lolz. Did I tell his name? Ooops, I forgot-his name is HANEEN.By the way, this is the front gate of the shrine, and the place where you can see a few people standing in circle (look over Haneen's shoulders), that is the place where a bomb blasted around a year ago injuring The Hon'ble British Ambassador to Bangladesh.

Pictures from Sylhet

Let me start with pix of Sylhet. My sister, her husband and my 3+ year old cutey nephew (my lil bf) went to visit Sylhet few days back. And it is ME who is gonna share these pix with u guys. Ain't I sweet? yep, I am..hi hi.(LAOJ- laugh at own joke)(where did i read that? a comment in sumone's blog). ok no more pechal para, tis foto tym.. hmmmm. what to start with? Nature? ok? and u guys all know well what Sylhet is famous for, don't u? yep, tea.(any1 who loves tea can get urself a Sylheti spouse. Sharajibon cha baniye khawabe, lolz)
Here u guys can see a beautiful tea garden.

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog. My own blog was getting stuffed with pix and my own ideas were getting neglected. And so I decided to post the pix of scenic Bangladesh which I love to share with everyone in a separate blog. And that's the beginning story (shane nuzul) of this blog.
