And there goes the last pic from the trip...

Here is the last pic I managed to take from the train... and my marvellous trip ended with such beautiful scenes from villages lying in both sides of the railline..

No time these days to go on such trips..so bz we all hav become with LIFE..
So my theory is "never miss a chance to go out and feel the greatness of nature"
Don't know when next will I get another chance,..
till then, bye everybody
Allah hafiz... and don't forget to pray for me and MY BELOVED SCENIC BANGLADESH.

Pics from train 1(Gram Bangla...shobuj dhankhet...)

Every good time has an end, and marvellous times come to an end so quickly!.... so my day also came to an end very soon... and on my way back I managed to take some village pics from the train...the part of Bangladesh that I love most! I m sure u will love it too. The pics were taken from a moving train so don't expect them to be of any better quality!

Jatiyo Ful!!

Inside the pagoda there is a small lake (or pond??)..and inside there were these beautiful water lilies (oops!! the pic covers more of the lake (??) than the water lilies! sorry :) ..). And for those who don't know - water lily is our national flower. That's why they are so precious to us!

Bangladeshira.... ekta kotha..kothay jani shunechilam amader jatiyo ful naki shada shapla, lal shapla na!! keu janen ki, edhoroner kono kotha ache kina?? me confused here.. :).. ei odhom ke gyan bitoron koriya shahajjo koren..lolz

Pagoda

Ok.. enough of the same stream!
Here is a pagoda that lies within the university campus.. we had to walk a long way through village type roads.. and find it. Although I decided not to post any pic of any man-made building, I think it won't be good to skip this.. cos the structure seemed really nice to me.

m back..with more pics from that stream

Salaam everybody..
Life was quite busy these days and couldn't even remember that I had other pics to update..well, now I hav heaps of more pics to share, but m not getting the time to upload them..
today I m gonna post sum more pics of the stream I was talkin about..

...and finally, experiencing the feeling unforgettable!!

This is another view of the stream- after getting down..sorry, the pic wasn't taken very neatly.. i was in a hurry... and excited.. oh my!! the water was soo cool.. felt like staying there forever.. that cool water made us forget about the blazing sun on top of our heads..
sigh! nothing of the feeling can be expressed in pics.

Ok guys, that's all for today.. I have more pics, but will save them for another day..till then.. bye!

.. AND the stream..

.. And this is what you see down the hill- THE STREAM!! IT IS SOOO COOL.. I just simply can't express it here. It gotta be experienced by one's ownself to understand....'hills in both side.. and a stream flowing underneath...a waterfall (although small) and the roar of the water falling....
I just simply can't express it....

..Over a hill..

Let me tell you the best part of the trip-visit to the stream...yeah!! There is such a beautiful waterfall (very small, doesn't look like a fall, but yet, it was marvellous!!)with a stream!! MY! That was an adventure.. we had to walk into a village type area.. a lot away from the main campus.. leading to a hill. This is a view from there, I am standing on the hill, and this is the view of some other hills that can be seen...

..the warm welcome on the way...

This is another pic taken on the way, still from the rickshaw.
...shoroter akashe shada megh(chobite nei)..paharer gaye dariye ache shada kash... jeno obbhorthona janay prokritir ei nishorgo bhumite... lolz, poetic ME!! haha.. emon prokriti dekhe ke na kabbyik hoy?!

A visit to Chittagong University

Assalamu Alaikum,
Hope you guys are all doing fine. Life is going on.... quite smoothly here. Don't feel like blogging these days, so I am being really irregular....
...But not when I have something new to share- so today I am going to post some cool pics I have taken on my visit to Chittagong Universtiy. That's the only public university in Chittagong- located in Hathazari, far from the main town. I have some friends studying there, and I heard from them it is a very beautiful place-located in the rural area, with real natural scenic beauty.. we (a bunch of friends) were planning to pay a visit to this place since long, and last Tuesday (6th Sept) we made it. And MY! THAT WAS A DAY!!
First of all, let me surprise you with the story of 'how to get there'... there is special train from main CTG town to the university (I heard this is the only uni in the whole world which has its own separate train station, it's up to you to verify and believe though!) and that is the normal way to get there. There is a train at 7.30 am, but we caught the 8.30 am. And MY!! IT WAS ONE JOURNEY I WILL NEVER FORGET!! Up to you to guess why... o yeah, bhule jacchilam, onekgulu free gan hojom korechi - bajna chara na abar, bajnao chilo- instrument chara natural hater bajna.. shudhu bhabchilam, ei train eto chor thapor kheye etodin beche ache ki kore??!!shotti!! ki bichitro ei desh!!

Hmm.. we reached the university premises at around 9.15 am and its a long walk from there to the main campus and the buildings.... with the blazing sun above our heads, it created a big headache and leg-ache.. we the outcomers were continuously praising the energy of the ones who study there-may Allah keep them as energetic all their life! I had to come back to the main gate to get some ammunition to survive the heat.. and these are the pics I managed to take while on my way back - here you can see the side view of the road from main entrance inwards. This time my friend and I were on a rickshaw-didn't want to fall over the road while having a walk on that looong path again-I really loved this road alot (while with an umbrella over the head)- with hills on both side. The pic didn't come out very well because I was on a moving rickshaw.

I tried to take pictures of natural beauty- no man-made monument/building/structure, purely natural pics, except pictures of a pagoda we visited. Here I am going to post more of those pics, but not all at once... gotta give some gap in blogging.. for some feedback and also cos gotta wait till I can collect some more lot of pics from another part of MY BELOVED SCENIC BANGLADESH. Chalaki ar ki hehehe..
