Assalamu Alaikum, I hope you are all well by the grace of Allah. Alhamdulillah, I am also very well and healthy. Today I will share some beautiful moments I spent with my friends with you, so let's get started...!

We friends suddenly made a plan on Thursday night to have date juice on Friday morning. As planned, on Friday morning, we woke up and all our friends went out to have date juice at Ros Bagicha in Bandar Narayanganj. We took an auto-rickshaw from Shibu Market to reach Hajiganj Nabinagar Ghat. Then we took a ferry there and crossed the Shitalaksha River to the other side. Then, we friends walked for a while to reach Ras Bagicha date garden.

Winter mornings mean a different kind of tranquility. Today, the joy of that winter morning was further enhanced by spending time with friends in the Ras Bagicha date garden. The place is located in the field of Kasem Jamal Garden, Kabil Mor, Bandar Narayanganj—absolutely familiar yet very different in feel.

Entering the palm grove, I saw a crowd of people inside, some talking, some taking pictures, some busy serving date juice to friends and family members. Standing in the shade of the palm trees and watching these scenes, it seemed that this is the true form of our culture. And since it was Friday, many friends from far and wide had come here to drink the juice. What can I say about the others, we, friends, came here to drink the juice.

In the date palm garden, an experienced juice collector is taking down pots tied to the tree to collect the date palm juice that has accumulated in clay pots. The juice collected from the date palm tree is first collected in a clay pot. Then the juice is strained through a sieve and served in bottles or glasses. Since the entire process is done in an open area, the clarity and freshness are easily understood. As soon as the pots are taken down from the date palm tree, they are being sold. We stood there for about half an hour to collect the juice. On Fridays, there are a few more people than on other days, so we have a little trouble getting the juice. Finally, after waiting for quite some time, we bought a one-liter bottle of juice for 170 taka.

The biggest attraction of the morning was the fresh date juice from the Ras Bagicha date garden. When the juice was collected from the tree and poured into an earthen vessel and poured into a plastic glass, its clarity and slightly sweet smell filled my heart. Just one sip would brighten up the winter morning. What is not easily available in the hustle and bustle of the city becomes the most common but priceless pleasure when you come to the village. I have had many date juices, but this is the first time I have had fresh juice directly from the date garden with friends.

After drinking the date juice, I wandered around the garden and captured some memorable moments with my friends. Sometimes standing next to a tree with an earthen pot in my hand, sometimes in front of a small traditional house made of bamboo and straw. These pictures are not just pictures, but the feeling of some beautiful moments spent with friends. All in all, time passed very quickly. This date juice is not just for taste, it is associated with winter mornings, friendship and some beautiful moments of being together.

After drinking date juice and enjoying some beautiful moments with friends, we left the date garden and started walking along the side of the road. After walking for a while, we saw a beautiful structure - the Pak Panjatan City Jame Mosque, built with red brick masonry. The mosque is very beautiful to look at and the peaceful environment around it was very nice. The architecture of the Pak Panjatan City Jame Mosque is really eye-catching. Standing in such a place, I feel a kind of peace inside myself. Seeing such a beautiful mosque, I took several pictures with my friends in front of the huge gate of the mosque. After spending some time there, I returned home.
