On the 5th September I got upon Dhaka-Khulna coach at Gabtali bus stand. I procured a ticket the day before. The bus was to start at 7 am So I reached Gabtoli bus stand at 6 am. The seats of the coach were comfortable. Luckily I had my seat by the window. It was a sunny morning. The bus iele at 7 am.
The bus started running at a good speed and soon we were far from the din and bustle (G9157139) of the city. Our bus was passing the Savar road. We enjoyed beautiful green fields, orchards, and trees on the both sides of the highway. I also enjoyed the beautiful campus of the Jahangir Nagar University, the Savar Dairy Firm and Savar Cantonment. The bus was moving ahead leaving behind the trees, houses and small shops on either side of the road. It was really very delightful to see the green beauties of nature.
An interesting part of the journey was crossing the mighty river, the Padma by ferry. We reached Aricha within an hour and a half. The driver told us to get down from the bus. When I got down from the bus and got on the ferry. I felt a good relief and saw the boats, launches, barges plying on the placid (118) water of the mighty river. At the ferry ghat there were some hawkers and vendors selling fruits, chanachur, muri, betal leaf and cigarette. Some passengers bought muri and chanachur. Crossing the river by ferry in the gentle breeze was very pleasant.
Our bus reached Daulatdia ghat. Again I took my seat. The bus began to run at a high speed, we crossed Rajbari and Faridpur on the way. We also crossed Magura and Jhenaida on the way and reached Jessore town at about 2 pm. I enjoyed the natural beautiful scenery on the either side of the high way. When our bus stopped at Jessore, some passengers got down. Our bus reached Khulna at 3.30 pm. Sohel received me at the bus stand.
The journey gave me much pleasure. It was one of the most memorable days in my life. I bore the journey in my heart.
