Assalamu Alaikum. Greetings Sri Lankan community. How are you all? I hope by the grace of Allah, you are all doing well. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am also doing well. I pray to Allah that we are always well.

Today I would like to share with you my experience of going to the upazila town to get bike oil. Currently, due to the problem with the Strait of Hormuz, there is an oil crisis in various countries of the world. This crisis has had a huge impact on the quality of life in Bangladesh and it is definitely important for us to follow this example.

A few days ago. At that time, the month of Ramadan was going on. During the month of Ramadan, an iftar was organized in a mosque in our village. Basically, all the young people who were there were my friends and I was invited to the iftar party.

So we left for our upazila town in the morning to go to the market. However, due to the ongoing world war, there was a serious shortage of oil in our bikes. Because the supply of petrol was not sufficient and because of this we had to suffer a lot.

We had sent several of our friends to the market to go to the market. Since we had taken two bikes, we went to the oil pump with two bikes. We reached the only oil pump in our upazila, Satta Filling Station. After going there, we were quite impressed by the crowd of so many people.

We first watched a very long serial. After watching the long serial, I also parked my bike in the serial. Then, each bike rider was slowly saving oil.

However, we spent about two hours there. Because of so many bikes and only one oil pump in the upazila city. As a result, there was a lot of pressure on one oil pump.

Moreover, they were collecting enough oil for other petrol-powered vehicles that needed oil. Especially, oil was being saved for generators and people were collecting oil for syndicating. The price of petrol per liter was kept at only 116 taka. However, no one can save oil above 200 taka from this pump.

Anyway, we finally stood in the queue for two hours. After 2 hours, it was time for us to compete to get oil. It is very unfortunate that we have to work so hard just for petrol. It is a very difficult matter and exporting petrol has become a very important issue for our country.

I finally collected oil and called my friends to inform them about the market activities. It took about two hours to store the oil and another 30 minutes to complete our market activities. Anyway, we finally finished the oil storage activities from the oil pump and also did the market for iftar. Then we left for home.

Anyway, it was a new day of experience in the month of Ramadan and the oil pumping activity was quite good. However, I visited the entire road and the road was almost empty. Because there is still a lot of bike traffic on the roads due to the oil crisis.

Thank you very much for being with the Sri Lankan community. Thank you very much for enjoying my post today.
