A wonderful moment on a boat trip
The first thing I did when I woke up that morning was brush my teeth. Then I washed my hands and face and freshened up. After freshening up nicely, I took a short walk outside. That day was my day to travel along the river. I decided to travel from home to Sirajganj by river for some work. I had breakfast at eight in the morning. Then I left home for Sirajganj.

I feel very safe traveling by river. Because the journey along the river is quite relaxing and balanced. Boat accidents on wide river roads are less common. Anyway, I left the house after finishing breakfast. It will take me a long time to reach the riverbank from my house. That's why I left a little early. It took me approximately 30 minutes to reach the riverbank. Finally I arrived at the riverbank.
The boat was tied up on the river bank. I sailed on this boat that you can see in the photo. The boat was waiting for passengers before setting off. This boat can accommodate about 250 people. The sides of the boat and the mats play a very effective role for sitting. Anyway, the boat started its journey towards Sirajganj at 9:15. I was enjoying the views of the river as the boat was moving.

There were very limited passengers on the boat. Here, a comparatively small percentage of people were passengers. Most of the boat was empty because there were very few passengers. River travel is rare these days as water scarcity is causing hardship in several parts of the river. Anyway, the boat's speed was very normal. The boat's speed at normal speed seemed fine to me.
The boat passengers sailed in a very pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed it. The atmosphere that day was also quite nice. I enjoyed it because it was a very precious moment. The sky was warm with a gentle sun and a cool breeze. Overall, a temperate atmosphere prevailed. The environment on the river is quite natural. There was no heat stress. So it was very enjoyable.

The river water was silent, but the gentle waves were fascinating to watch. I noticed small waves in the river water in the light breeze. I was fascinated by the boats floating on the river. Many small and large boats were plying this river. Some were fishing, others were on a pleasure trip. I also saw some larger boats that had set off for commercial purposes. Especially the large ships were rushing towards their destinations at a steady speed.
The ships were mainly going to collect soil. Many ships coming from Dhaka and Sunamganj ply this river. Their journey is very long, because it takes many days to travel hundreds of kilometers from one district to another. Anyway, I enjoyed these small boats floating on the river. I enjoyed the boat scenes and tried to capture them through photography.

The boats in the picture were busy with different tasks. Some were on the river for commercial purposes, while others were on it for a living. I especially tried to enjoy the scenes of fishermen fishing in their boats. Fishermen's boats are very fast. The boats are small and light, so they move quite quickly. However, the speed of the boat was balanced, like our passenger boat. I found the big ships very beautiful to look at.
There is a lot of commerce along the riverbank. The crowd of boats makes it seem like it's some kind of festival. However, these boats were carrying passengers. Some boats came from far away for trade. There is a lot of noise and curiosity around the boat dock. There is a schedule of when a boat will depart for its destination. The speed of the boat is also controlled according to the schedule. It's a pleasure trip again because it's safer and more natural.

After reaching the riverbank, many scenes can be seen. There are many van drivers here who have come to take passengers to their destinations. It was also a lot of fun to watch the competition between van drivers. They were being treated with so much respect for picking up passengers. I also used a van. However, the most golden moment was during the river trip. It's nice to enjoy golden moments and keep them as memories.

It was a very enjoyable and natural trip. A safe journey is undoubtedly a joy. Especially the moments of boat travel are a joy for all of us. Boat travel is one of the most beautiful ways to travel through nature and the environment. This allows you to enjoy the course and beauty of the river and boat. The life of the people living along the river is also known. So for me, boat trips are happy memories.
Thank you very much for reading my post. May everyone be well and healthy always by the grace of God. I end here by wishing everyone long life.
