A Journey By Train
In the last autumn vacation I got sufficient time. So I made up my
mind to make a journey by train from Dhaka to Khulna. I reached the
station about half an hour before the departure of the train. It was
than a very busy time. Rickshaws, motor cars and other vehicles were
coming to the station with passengers. After
sometime hearing the whistle, the passengers stood in a queue before the
ticket counter. I also stood in the line and bought a second class
ticket. The right time the right train came and the guard whistled and
waved his flag. Everybody tired to get into the train fast. After much
difficulty I got into a second class compartment. The compartment was
full to its capacity. The train left the station. I looked outside and
found the beauty of nature. The train was running through green paddy
fields. There were jute and sugarcane plants here and there. They were
tossing there heads in the breeze. The compartment presented a good
scene. Some of the passengers were talking on various matters. Some were
reading newspapers and magazines. Hawkers came to us with their goods
for sale. The train reached at the Khulna Station at 11 p.m. I got down.
The journey in my heart I bore. It gave me much pleasure. Indeed it was
one of the most memorable days in my life.
