A train journey

A train journey is very interesting and pleasant. It gives one a brief picture of the country. I got an opportunity  of enjoying a journey by train from Dhaka to Chittagong. My brother lives in Chittagong. Once he invited me to spend a few days with him in Chittagong. Our college was closed for fifteen days in the summer vacation. In that vacation I decided to go to Chittagong by
train. The day was fixed. I along with my brother reached Kamlapur Railway Station. The station was crowded when we reached there. It was ringing with human voice. The hawkers were shouti We bought two second class tickets. As the train steamed into the station, all the passengers came into it and tried to
get into the train. We got into the train after a hardship. It was a mail train. With the ringing of bell, the guard blew his whistle, waved the flag and the train started. At first the train moved very slowly. Then the train began to run in full speed. Our train reached Bhairab. After a few moments some people started discussing politics. I looked out through one of the windows. The beautiful scenery outside charmed me. The houses and trees on both the sides seemed to be running back. The train halted at Akhaura station for some time. Then some
hawkers got into our compartment. They brought some bananas, some biscuits, mangoes, watermelons pineapples and black berries. I bought two bananas and took tea. Then the train started. I felt drowzy. The train moved through the open fields. We were enjoying the natural beauties of Bangladesh. We saw the farmers collecting their harvest. At a certain place we came in close touch with the cottage of the peasants. The housewives were busy in preparing food. The children were playing outside the huts. As the train was passing by, they came running near the rail line and shouted in joy. For the time being I forgot myself. I was awakened by the shouts of the porter in Chittagong station. Our train reached in Chittagong at 5 p.m. We got down from the train and our happy journey came to an end. This journey was very much interesting to me. I shall never forget the sweet memory of this journey.
