Difficult to find any change in life

Last week we are back from India after a 10 days visit to the Eastern Himalayas(West Bengal n Sikkim). No doubt about those spellbinding mountains with snow-peaks. But did it make any change to my life or my friends? For those days, they were very charming though a little bit cold.



Mirik the wonderful lake, with astonishing reflections of Kanchendzongha on it, then Darjeeling(Queen of hills) blessed with the awesome view of the world's 3rd highest peak all day long, Kalimpong the most beautiful city in that area in beauty of nature and people with mighty Teesta blowing beneath, Gangtok and the rest of the Sikkim with the wonders of Himalays, sacred and restricted place with a huge vertical strive[can not forget those snowy places, the frozen lake, etc], and lastly the best of west bengal "Sandakphu-valley of poisonous plants", heavenly view of Everest(1st-8,848m), Kanchendzongha(3rd-8,586m), Lhotse(4th-8,516m), Makalu(5th-8,485m) together. The afternoon we reached Sandakphu we startled and miss-identified Everest number of times, but when confirmed the feelings was awesome. In the first day at Darjeeling we had no views of the golden ridge. But the next morning the surprisal was to the full of extent at the falling rays of sun on the great "Kanchendzongha". We loved almost everything. Even we loved coming back to Bangladesh with delighted mind.

Now we question ourselves, what change did those 10 days make in our life? Still to find an answer, still a lots of things unanswered...

N.B. The first rays on Kanchendzongha...(Not a quality picture though)

Back from Sundarbans


This was my second visit to Sundarbans, but this time it was much more interesting and full of fun coz of my classmates and friends were with me. We were 51 ppl including 2 of our teachers. Total 4 nights and 3days long stay with this people was really exciting.

In Sundarbans we were about to see a tiger. We heard roars of a tiger(prpbably of cloud in the sky) and some of us saw some yellow strip moving through the woods(what i saw was a deer or nothing). but the most exciting part was the frightening by the event. Hasib sir almost felt his heart and caught the arms of Tanvir and dragged a stick from the arm guards.

Next wonderful thing was the "Kotka" beach. As it was my second visit the beach was no more to the surprisal, but to my friends and with my friends it was the one of the greatest day in my life. The most important thing i suppose was coming back safely.


In the mean time, in Dhaka as you may have noticed huge changes have occured. The arrest of corrupted political leaders by the armed force and other activities by the newly formed caretaker GOVT have certainly put some light at the end of the tunnel.
