Today was a holiday. I woke up in the morning, freshened up, and had a light breakfast. Then, I went up to the rooftop. Watching the morning sun rise was such a breathtaking sight; it truly filled my heart with joy. Such beautiful scenes aren't always visible you can only experience this magic in the early morning.

If you want to see it, try waking up early tomorrow!
​I was enjoying this enchanting view while walking around the roof. On one side, there is a small rooftop garden with various vegetable and flower plants. In the morning, the plants seemed to come back to life, adorned with sparkling drops of dew. The view of the surroundings from the roof was stunning. The birds were chirping, filling the air with their melodies, and the morning breeze was incredibly refreshing. As the saying goes, "The morning air is a medicine worth millions."

​After coming down, I sat in my room for a while and scrolled through some reels on my phone. Then, I went downstairs to take out my bike. I cleaned it, washed it with water, and let it dry in the morning sun.

​Suddenly, I remembered—today was my BCS exam! I quickly got ready and set off for the exam center, which was at Chittagong City College. I started my journey from Rangunia by CNG. At first, it was hard to find a ride, and I had to wait for quite a while. Eventually, I got a CNG to "Rastar Matha," but the driver dropped us off a bit early. I had to walk the rest of the way to the intersection.
​From Rastar Matha, I boarded a No. 2 bus. It was crowded, and there were no seats available, so I traveled all the way to New Market standing up. Since I wasn't familiar with the exact location of City College, I asked a few locals for directions, and they kindly pointed the way.
​When I arrived at the college, I saw massive lines and a huge number of students. I checked the seat plan to find my room number and joined the queue. Before entering, there was a security check to ensure no one was using unfair means. Once inside, I found my seat. Gradually, the room filled up with other candidates. The invigilator arrived, distributed the OMR sheets, and we filled them out. When the bell rang, the question papers were handed out.
​After finishing the exam, I submitted my OMR sheet and left the hall. The gate was incredibly crowded with people pushing and shoving, so I waited for a bit of space to exit slowly.

​I got back on a No. 2 bus, and once again, luck wasn't on my side—I didn't get a seat. I stood all the way back to Rastar Matha. From there, I took another bus to Pahartali and finally a CNG to Ichakhali.

​By the time I reached home, I was exhausted. I rested for a bit and then had lunch. Oh, it was delicious! My wife’s cooking is always amazing, and today was no exception. After eating, I rested again and then went back to the roof to spend some time with nature. I watered my tomato and chili plants.

​Later in the evening, I got ready and went to Ichakhali Bazar. I met up with a friend for tea and a chat. We had two cups of tea, which cost 16 Taka. I wanted to pay, but my friend insisted on treated me, saying, "You can pay another day." After walking and talking, I returned home.
​Now, I’ve freshened up, rested, and had my dinner. I sat down to write today’s diary, and once I'm finished, I'll head to bed. Stay well, everyone!
