Basically I wanted to discover the complete enjoyment of the trip to Sylhet for four days, forget my routine responsibilities of my usual life. I will remember the views of the highway road from Dhaka to Sylhet.
1st Day
I started at 6.30am and reached Sylhet at 10am. There are lot of hotels and motels available in Sylhet. I can assure your comfort living at Sylhet. But I choose to stay in the rest house of a Tea Garden named Duncan. One of my friends is the owner of tea garden. You can also book the rest house as tourist. The view from the rest house of the tea garden can qualify to high definition landscape. The small big hills are full of green tea trees as long as you can see. They shaped satires in the hill for reach the top of the hill easily. In this tea garden I also saw green rubber garden. They processed rubber in their lab. When the sun goes down the view from the top of the hill, what I can say? My words are not enough to express the beauty of the tea garden. It freezes my vision, my mind and also my soul. After disappear of the sun I started to come down.
2nd Day
The next morning I completed my prayer in the holly shrine of Saint Hazrat Shajalal. There is tunnel linked (as say so) with the Holly Jamjam water at Arab. It is behind the Shrine. There is narrated that long time ago a person dropped his ring into the holly Jamjam draw-well and letter after it was recovered from in this draw-well of holly shrine of Saint Hazrat Shajalal. This story is carried generation by generation and I am not confirming about the truth. I went there and drink the holly water for my recovery with best wishes.
3rd day
Very early in the morning I left home to discover a new experience in my trip and the destination is Lalkhal a cannel. When I reached at Lalkhal, I found another cannel named Sharikhal flows serpentine too far away. I rented a motor boat as hourly payment. I did not get such an exciting at that moment. The feeling was so colored and unforgettable. After my boat had started there were some boys (around six or seven years old) without cloths at the bank of the cannel. They came running and jumped into the water and they are enjoying the jumping. They are smiling and playing together in the water. Oh I wish if I could go back at their age and could make fun like them. I could not hold myself. I stopped my boat and joined with them. It is really a great fun. I jumped into the water with my cloths and I was fully wet. I was worried about my wet cloth on me and few minutes I feel that my cloth is not as wet and after few times it was fully free from water and in the next morning I found me fine, fresh and not felt sick. From early morning to 1pm I was on the zigzag cannel enjoying the natural beauty of Sharikhal cannel.
After finishing my launch I started again for Jaflong. Views of the side seen on the way to Jaflong are ever memorable. The zigzag road goes through the green hills. The local folks with innocent smile win my heart. When I saw a big old tree, it feels like the big old tree carries many memories of the time and providing shelter of many life of the nature. Basically nature provides food and shelter of every single life. That is why it is called Nature Mother. In one side there are large estate another side there is Joyeenta Hill, the border area of Bangladesh India. In the rainy season fountain flows from the top of the hill and the natural sound of the falling water infatuated surroundings. Suddenly I found that the sky is getting cover with dark clouds and started falling big rain drops on me. It was raining cats and dogs on the zigzag roads through hills. By viewing the hilly road in the rain is unexplainable beautiful scenery. The green hills look like the best beauty of a maiden after shower. One side appears tea garden or big estate and the other side appears big hills. Some are very near and some are far away which create an unusual satisfaction in my mind. I saw many tea gardens on the way. Among them Mathura, Rajnagar, Looaiunichora and many tea garden is on the way. On the way back to rest house I took a break to Monipuri Market. When I came back to rest house it was dark. There was a beautiful pond beside my rest house. Luckily it was moonlight night. After finished my dinner I went to the pond side. I lied down on the grass and started watching moon. I was alone in the supernatural moonlight night. I felt so alone in this beautiful moment. The Goddess of my dream never came to take me out of my loneliness. I slept on the green grass and I woke up by the sing of birds. If I could I would stay here forever.
4th day
In the morning I finished my breakfast and left the rest house for the way to Lalang. It is a village of ancient civilians. There is a huge garden of fresh vegetables found in this village. The farmers were working in the field. I gave my hand with their work. They co-operated me very much. I caught fish from the pond. I made launch with the farmers and after work I ate a lot that I cannot move. I slept and when I woke up the sun went down. I farewell them and started move for Dhaka. Dhaka is my permanent address. Back to home in my regular life.
But the trip to Sylhet, the views on the trip and the enjoyment I had got will carry in my memory as long as I live.
Thanks and regards.
