MY village

My village, Chunati, means something really special for me. It's the place where I was born, and so were every member of my family!

What's so special about my village, you might want to know- it is (most probably)the only village in Bangladesh that has a WEBSITE based on it!

It occupies a special part of my life, and whenever I get the time and the chance, I never miss the opportunity to visit her. You might laugh at me, but I won't hesitate to say, it is the heaven for me. I do have some scattered pics from my village here and there in this blog, but they are not all in one place. And I am not used to tagging posts :(, so these can't be found at one click.



I always wished to share the many great pics I have taken of my village in each of my trips. But there are so many, I decided it demands special attention, just as special it is to me. So I thought of developing a separate blog site on it.



So with that site to describe my village for you, I just shared some random pictures that mean a lot to me! Hope you enjoy it!!

Jaflong

Pics from Jaflong, the beauty queen of Sylhet. It appeared to me that Jaflong is more attractive than any other part of Sylhet.

The following pic is taken on the way to Jaflong. It's best if you can start for Jaflong early in the morning, and these clouds playing on the hilltop will create a wonderful welcoming ceremony for you on the way.

The following scenes will appear as you land Jaflong. The workers are working

hard to collect the best stones available, while we go and have a pleasure trip beside them.

Pics of SYLHET

The waterfall at Madhobkunda is a must see place in Sylhet. Though the journey to Madhabkunda is a tiresome one, all your sorrows are sure to wash away just at the site of this beautiful fall.

It takes three hours to go and another three hours to come back from Madhabkunda. And all you see is just a fall? NOO. IT's more than just a fall and you have to be there to understand what I mean. But believe me, it's worth it!

Sylhet in Pictures

Last December I had the chance to visit Sylhet, located in the North-East of Bangladesh, along the borders of India. Sylhet is well known for its tea gardens, the Shrine of Hazrat Shah Jalal (RA), its splendid scenic beauty with hills standing firm in the horizon and to add to it- the extreme cold in its air.

I have some more of Sylhet pics somewhere in my early blog entries. But those were hired from my sister, and this time I was too excited as I myself was there to take as many pics I wanted.

I was one of the 70+ members of the team that visited Sylhet on a "study tour" from our uni. Although we called that "study tour", it is actualy an "escape from the boring studies" and so we all were excited to our most.

It takes around 12 hours through train from Chittagong, and we had two boggies hired for our team. The more we proceeded Sylhet, the more the December cold was increasing and we all were cuddled together, trying to save ourselves from the cold. There is not much of sightseeing possible in night train journeys, so we just didn't mind sitting with all the ammunitions we had to fight the cold. Not to mention, there was always some kind or another fun items going on here and there.

Just to add here, I earned some fame taking pics of different sleeping poses :D

The morning was great. WE were all so excited to reach Sylhet that we forgot we had a bad night with almost no sleep (that's what everyone was trying to say, though I had concrete proof of almost everyone's strange sleeping styles).

And I better continue with the story in pics rather than in words. That's already too much for this blog. If you have alraedy read till this much, I must give you a thanks for your patience.

To start with the pics, these two are just a glimpse of a tea garden from Sylhet. We only visited one garden, and that also just before the sunset, and not for longer than half an hour. So I need to aplogize first for the low quality picture:
