SLC31-W2 | THE GREEN JOURNEY | Green Palate.

Steemian Friends,
It was a truly enjoyable experience for me to spend a beautiful afternoon on the banks of the Buriganga River. That day, the sky was light blue, with occasional white clouds floating by. Although the river's water was a little murky, it was very pleasant to hear the sound of its waves. There was a small Rest Place on the bank of the river, where one could sit and enjoy the surrounding scenery. There were so many green plants all around that it felt like one had entered the midst of nature. Small boats, launches, and ships were passing through the river, which was very beautiful to see. It is summer in our country now, so the heat is blowing all around. Visitors are sitting on the riverbank and enjoying the cool breeze. I like this place to participate in the challenge.

My office colleague and I went there that afternoon. There were many trees near the rest house, like mango, jackfruit, and various flowering trees. There was a fresh smell in the air, which was very calming to the mind. The sound of birds chirping, the river waves, and the light breeze made the place feel like heaven. There are a few seats under the shade of the trees. Tourists are waiting for the seats to be free. We waited for some time and got a seat under the shade of the trees.

Suddenly, I saw a vendor selling watermelon nearby. Seeing the big red watermelons, I really wanted to eat them. My office colleague and I bought watermelons. We bought two watermelons. In addition, according to the rules of the challenge, I bought food made from natural corn. A vendor fried corn on the side of the road and made chips. We bought the food to spend time sitting on the riverbank in the afternoon. Watermelon will fill the water gap in our body in the scorching heat. Corn will increase our body's energy. Every food contains natural ingredients.

The red color of the watermelon was so beautiful that my tongue was watering just by looking at it. As soon as I put a piece in my mouth, the cool and sweet taste filled my heart. Eating such a cold watermelon on a hot day was really very comforting. The watermelon juice was spreading in my mouth, and it felt like all the fatigue was going away. I cut the watermelon myself with a knife, which you can see in the video. I had an incredibly beautiful moment.

We were sitting in front of the rest house, eating watermelon and looking at the river. Some boats were sailing in the distance, and the boatmen were singing. The combination of that song and the sound of the wind created a strangely beautiful atmosphere. Sometimes the water of the river would come and hit the shore; it was very nice to hear that sound. When the big launches and ships passed by, the waves would grow bigger and make a noise on the shore. The sun was slowly sinking in the western sky.

Eating watermelon while sitting in the shade of the green trees was a different experience. The sun was not too strong, because the trees kept the place cool with their shade. I was watching the surrounding nature while eating watermelon. It seemed like we could find some peace here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. After eating watermelon, we walked for a while. It was really nice to walk along the riverbank and spend time among the green trees. I felt like this time could have been a little longer! Then we sat at the rest house and ate fried corn.

In the evening, we strolled along the riverbank walkway for some time. It was very beautiful to see the trees all around and the factories built on the riverbank. We went to a mosque on the riverbank to offer Asr prayers. After the prayers, we returned to the office.
