A Journey by Boat

Introduction: Bangladesh is a riverine country.In this fast moving modern age, a journey by boat offers a different taste in communication. It brings us closer to the beauty of nature.

Occasion/ Planning: It was an autumnal vacation. I enjoyed a journey by boat from Kotwalipara to Gopalgonj. Two friends were with me.

Arrangement: For the journey, we hired a boat. There were two boatmen. We took clothes, foods and camera with us.

Beginning of the journey/ Start: It was 13 Feb, 2002. The day was bright. The current (স্রোত) and the wind were in our favour. The boatmen hoisted the sail.

Description of the journey: The river was full to the brim. The murmuring (কুল-কুল) sound of the waves charmed me. Here and there some fishermen were fishing in the river. Some people were bathing. A few women were filling their jars. The beautiful riverside cast a spell upon our minds. The boat started plying through the river. We were glad to see the beautiful scenery of the rural areas. On both sides we saw green fields of paddy, jute and plants. Besides, the houses of the villagers presented a very nice scene. Reaching the destination: We reached our destination at 12 P.M.

Conclusion: This was my first journey by boat. It was thrilling (রোমাঞ্চকর). It was a very pleasant one. Yet we don't deny that at first we were a little apprehensive.

A Journey by Boat

Introduction: In this fast moving modern age, a journey by boat offers a different taste in communication. It brings us closer to the beauty of nature.

Occasion: It was an autumnal vacation. I enjoyed a journey by boat from Rupsha to Mongla. Two friends were with me.

Arrangement: For the journey, we hired a boat. There were two boatmen. We took clothes, foods and camera with us.

Beginning of the journey/ Start: The day was bright. The current (স্রোত) and the wind were in our favour. The boatmen hoisted the sail at 10 am.

Description of the journey: The river was full to the brim. The murmuring (কুল-কুল) sound of the waves charmed us. Here and there some fishermen were fishing in the river. Some people were bathing. A few women were filling their jars. The beautiful riverside cast a spell upon our minds. The boat started plying through the river. We were astonished to see the beautiful scenery of the rural areas. On both sides we saw green fields of paddy and rows of trees. Besides, the houses of the villagers presented a very nice scene. At noon we reached the ghat of a small village market. We got down and bought some sweets. We reached our destination at 4 pm.

Conclusion: This was my first journey by boat. It was thrilling (রোমাণ্যকর) and very pleasant. Yet we don't deny that at first we were a little apprehensive (শঙ্কিত). It was a memorable journey in my life.
