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)

Salam all.
thinking why the hell did I post pics of a cemetery with the pics of beautiful scenic green Sylhet?? Well, it IS kinda eccentric though. But the reason behind it is to remind myself and my dear readers of 'our ultimate address', no matter how many addresses we have in this world.
I often pay visits to this place which is close to my house. And everytime I go there, I remember the freaky fact that I will also be 'memory' like these people lying beneath here.(Though I may not be remembered by people like these warriors)
May Allah help us all. Ameen.

ekane praai-e kopot kopotir anagona dekha jaay: hahah...very funny. and that's so true. I left CTG when I was nine, so I still had not been old enough to underdstand all that. But now I know when I meet old CTG people and listen to their love stories and dating stories at the cemetary. lol... I know I don't approve of dating and such.. but people have their way of doing thigs. ON the other hand, I wonder how people dared to date over there given the fact that it's a cemetary and it should remind you of death. In that way, someone would probably "bhoy-e dour dibe" and repent instead of indulging in something haram like that. OK, I am sorry, I am probably ruining the happy mood of the post. But this just bugs me. Sorry, didn't mean to sound so judgmental but this whole dating thing within the MUslim community bug me LOTS.
