A journey by train is
very thrilling [চাঞ্চল্য]. It is quick. It
saves time and money.
During the last winter
I had a chance to make a journey by train. I had to go to Khulna to attend the
marriage ceremony of my friend’s brother.
I reached Kamalapur Railway
Station by rickshaw. It was 7 a.m. I bought a second-class ticket and got on a
compartment. It was not so crowded. I had a seat beside the window. With the
whistle of the guard, the train started to move at 8-20 a.m.
The train was running
at a great speed. I looked out of the window and enjoyed the beautiful sights. I
saw green fields on both sides of the train. Cowboys were tending cattle [গরু, ভেড়া ইত্যাদি চারণ করা], children were
playing and women were busy with their household works. But all these sights
seemed to be moving backwards. They were changing every moment. Inside the
train, some of the passengers were talking on many topics. Some were reading
either a newspaper or a book and some were sleeping.
It was an inter
district train named Mahanagar, Prabhati. So it did not stop at all the
stations. It stopped only at a very few big stations. So the journey felt very
pleasant.
At 2-45 p.m. the train
reached Khulna Railway Station. This long journey took only six hours. We can
see many things very quickly by a train journey.
The journey in my
heart I bore. It gave me much pleasure. Indeed it was one of the most memorable
days in my life.
