And finally we all have to return...

"Ei podma, ei meghna, ei jomuna shuroma nodi tote... amar rakhal mon gan geye jay, e amar desh, e amar prem, shoto anondo bedona, milono biroho shongkote...."- one of favorite patriotic songs...(does anybody know who wrote the lyrics of this song? I couldn't answer that question in a quiz competition recently :-( .....)
This is my personal favorite picture for many reasons. And so I decided not to publish the many pics i took in Dinajpur Shwapnapuri, Parbotipur Coal Mining Centre, Syedpur, etc...(not enuff time, inshaAllah later)in order to publsh this pic as fast as possible..... which was one of the last pic i took on my whole trip.
This is taken from the bus when i was on my way back from Dhaka, while it was crossing the Meghna Bridge...
this pic is my personal fav, cos the sun is about to set, with a great message for all of us...'that no matter how shining the sun is, it has to set'..and that 'no matter how far we go, we have to come back'.. and yeah, that means, 'no matter how long we live, we will once have to return to where we belong'.... May Allah help us all realize the truth and prepare for our final destination... Ameen..

for now, thats the last piece of Scenic Bangladesh from my image gallery....
Allah Hafiz..
and keep praying... exams soon to come.

Jamuna Bridge

Assalamu Alaikum, dear everybody, sorry for my late return.. i was postint pics on my trip.. and i suddenly disappeared at halfway.. i just came back (after a year, considering Bangla Calender)... to give it a finishing touch...
Here is a pic taken from the Jamuna Bridge, while i was on it.. it's taken from the car, so it came blurr, I wish I could have taken a pic of the whole bridge, but there is no system to stop your vehicle if u are to cross it. But i still posted it here to prove that I have taken a trip on it, (i was so excited while i was on it for the first time that i sent messgs to sum of my friends, and one of my friends thought i mistook it with Meghna bridge, and that i was on my way from Dhaka to Ctg!!)
This was my first trip to North Bengal, and thus Jamuna bridge, and mayb the last as well, cos rumors r in the air that cracks have been found in it!! May Allah save us!! Ameen..

matir ghor

Hey check this out? There were 'matir ghor' or clay-made houses there... hmm that explains where the Bangla Cinema ppl go for shooting village scenes... I used to think they really go to villages... This pic explains aloot! There were too many ppl everywhere.. so I cudnt take a full-view of it cos i wanted to avoid ppl.

flowers

jote jodi mute ekti poysho, ful kinio khudhar lagi. Duti jodi jote, tobe ordheke ful, kine nio he onuragi....

I didn't need to buy it, but the scene of these beautiful Dahlia flowers everywhere were really attractive.

more pics from there..

This is another spot there.. I wish the water was a bit cleaner. Else, it looks fine....

At Tepantor Film City, Bhaluka, Mymenshingh!

Enough of Rangamati Pics. Here are some pics from my visit to a picnic at Tepantor Film City, Bhaluka, Mymensingh. (refer to my other blog abt the visit to there)

It's a huge area, mainly a shooting spot. I didn't get a chance to visit the whole place, and of the little I did, I didn't take pics of everything. Just a few spots which seemed 'pic-worthy' to me, I have captured. This is one of that...its mainly a fountain, but what do those idols represent, I wonder! U guess!!

Blue Ocean.. ooopss.. i mean LAKE!

No, this is not a pic from the Pacific Ocean, but from the Kaptai Lake when we were on a boat ride on it.

view of the lake

Isn't this cool? This pic was taken from the hill that the bridge leads to. You have to walk for a while to find this scene. I won't ever forget this scene!

sunset from the bridge

This pic was taken from the bridge-pic of sunset.

Jhulonto Shetu

The famous 'jhulonto shetu' or hanging bridge of Rangamati.

View of another heaven from the 'heavens'

I went up that stair leading to the third floor of the 'shat shorgo' and this pic of the lake is taken from there. It was such a risky place to take a pic from!

Shat shorgo!!( 7 heavens)

This is a building which is called the 7 Heavens!! The Buddhists believe this is their 7 Heavens! It's a seven storey building with a name for each storey. The names are so tough I wasn't able to memorize them. There is a stair that leads to the 3rd floor.

BACK..with pics from Rangamati.

Assalamu Alaikum.
Back after a loooong gap.
I m gonna start with pics from my rangamati trip which was done on 3rd and 4th january, 2006!
Was vry bz with studies, and post-exam roaming around (check my other blog) that I didn't get the time to post any new blog entry!

This is view of Kaptai Lake from a 'ghat' just beside the Buddhist Temple.

Cloudy sky

Shurjasto

This is another pic I took while on my way....

The sun is about to set and i managed to capture the beautiful sky.

On the way

Enuff of boring u guys with trees..

In my trip to my village, I went to visit another village and this pic I took while coming back - from the moving taxi... The scene in both sides were sooo nice, but I cudn't tell the driver to stop at every point-or else he wud have taken me to PMH (Banggalira bujhe nen) instead of my village.. lolz.. so i cudn't take pics of all places and not all the pics came good.

I posted this pic to show the fusion - I LUVD the colour of the sky... and u can see bricks at the side of the road.. this road is being 'developed'.....
The village roads are no more 'pure' village roads these days....
..
reminds me a line from Renaissance's 'Ekush shotoke gram bangla'

"shyamol matir poth
concrete chonchol
.....
shujon majhir hate
jontrer chute kol
palki behara ar
dekhbena chondon math"

"Development".... wat is it giving the villages and wat is it taking away from it??
