Today I am going to Dhaka for a special work. This morning, a friend of mine told me about going to Dhaka, but he didn't tell me why. I have friends at the office and at home, but it has been very boring for a long time. So I thought I would go out with him for a while. This train platform is located in Gandaria. Even two years ago, the condition of this station was not like this. It was in a very fragile condition. But you cannot feel how beautiful it is unless you see it directly. This platform was originally built when the Padma Bridge was built. Because the train that will go through the Padma Bridge will have a Gandaria stop after the Dhaka Kamalapur platform, and passengers can get on from here with tickets. I took the train from Pagla, and it takes a maximum of 10-12 minutes to reach here. I reached this station a little before evening. A huge platform has been built, as far as I know, this work and the train flyover work were done by a Chinese company. It has been done very beautifully. In the afternoon, people from this area come and enjoy the beauty of the platform. I took a picture of the platform after the train stopped at Gandaria.

The Narayanganj train was not like this before; the train has been changed after August 5, 2024. Earlier, the train compartment had two sides facing forward like bus seats, and now the seats in the compartment are empty in the middle, and there are two sides facing each other like benches. However, such seats are fine for this place. The passengers on both sides sit in their seats, and the passengers standing in the middle will travel standing nicely. However, I like it most that people are now facing the train. Bus passengers also now travel by train.

This is the platform of the Narayanganj train in Kamalapur. We just reached the platform. It seems that the platform of Kamalapur railway station is actually the platform of the Narayanganj train, and the train that travels from this station to the Padma Bridge is the main station from where the train leaves. This platform is called the Suburban Platform on paper. I have been coming and going from this station for many years, but I never noticed this writing. Although I used to come and go from below. Today, I suddenly looked up and saw how beautifully it was written, Suburban Platform. Seeing the writing, I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and took a picture.

No one is unaware of this fruit; everyone also knows the name of the fruit. Litchi is a fruit that has many qualities. Litchi is a summer fruit; it is not available except in summer. We call this fruit a seasonal fruit; it is a blessing to eat it at least once a year. The current price situation makes it impossible for everyone to eat it. I have a story behind this litchi. Last year, I don't think I bought any litchis during the litchi season. The house next door gave me some litchis. My daughter got sick after eating these litchis. Last year, I didn't buy any more litchis. After hearing about my daughter's illness, my relatives also made litchis their friend. This year, the litchi season has arrived. My daughter's favorite fruit is litchi, but my daughter has not asked me to buy litchi even once. She doesn't ask me because of the fear she had last year. I thought it might not be because of litchi. Still, I have a little doubt in my mind. Today, I bought 50 pieces of litchi. When I first got home, I soaked the litchis in a pot of water. I added salt and vinegar to the water. I advised my wife to soak them for 3-4 hours.

Best regards
