A Journey by Bus
(Introduction, Occasion and preparation,
Description, Destination, Conclusion)
Many vehicles are the invention of modern
science. The bus is one of the gifts of science. Now-a-days, a bus journey is
an enjoyable and comfortable experience. It is always a pleasure to human
beings.
We live in the port city of Chattogram. Now-a-days we feel bored in the noisy atmosphere of the town. We want to enjoy the pleasures for a while and we have decided to spend a weekend in a pleasant surrounding for a change. One of my friends proposed to us to go to Cox's Bazar for the pleasure trip.
We four friends, with the permission of our
guardians, booked ourselves for the trip. On the fixed day, we reached the bus terminal
at 7 a.m. The bus would start from there at 7.30 a.m. The passengers were
limited. We got comfortable seats.
The time was the summer vacation. The
weather of the day was suitable for our journey. The bus started punctually. We
crossed the Shankha Bridge'. Then our bus began to run through rural areas. We
enjoyed the charming scenery of the paddy fields in the country-side. The bus
ran at a stretch without stopping for about two hours. Then it stopped at
Amirabad. There was a restaurant by the wayside. We took some light tiffin and
all the passengers also took their tiffin. Then the bus started again at full
speed. Sometimes we had pleasant talks with our fellow passengers. There were
several passengers of our age. They sat beside us. Some of the passengers were
sleeping and some of them were busy reading newspapers or magazines. But the
natural beauty was so attractive and charming that I could not turn (take) my eyes
away from it.
At about 11.30 a.m. we reached our
destination, Cox's Bazar. The bus finally stopped. We got down from the bus.
The Bay of Bengal and the beautiful sea-beach came into view.
Thus, our journey by bus came to an end. To
me that journey is an unforgettable experience in my life. In fact, it was a
pleasant and enjoyable journey for me. It will remain ever fresh in my memory.
