Journey is always a matter of pleasure to me and a journey by train is my most favourite journey. On the 5th January 2015, I had an excellent journey by train to Sylhet. Our college was closed for the winter vacation. I started for my uncle's house at Sylhet from Dhaka. One of my cousins accompanied me. The journey was really very enjoyable to me.
We bought two first class tickets. We were waiting at the platform for the train. Soon the train arrived at the station. Passing a huge crowd, somehow we managed our seats beside a window. The train started from Kamalapur Railway Station at 10:30 pm.
The train was a mail train. It stopped only at the big stations. I was looking outside through the window and enjoying the natural beauty. It seemed that all the houses and trees on both sides were running backward. The sights were changing every moment. My heart was filled with amusement seeing the sights.
The train reached Bhairab Bazar at I2:00 a.m. We saw many passengers and hawkers at the station. Some hawkers entered the train and tempted us to buy different things. I bought chocolates and juice. Soon the train started with whistles. The train was going towards Sylhet at a great speed.
Many passengers were talking of many matters of their own life. Some of them talked about our national politics. The young man sitting at my left side wanted to know about me and my journey. I told him and he also told of his ownself.
After a long journey, at last the train reached Sylhet in the morning. I got my uncle there. I felt very excited seeing him and he cordially received me and my cousin. It was a very pleasant journey indeed. I will remember it forever.
