A journey by boat is
very pleasant as well as interesting.A few days ago I made such a journey with
some of my friends from Demra to Ghorasal.It was something like a thrilling
adventure to me.
After making all necessary arrangement we heard a beautiful
boat.It was 15
th October
2012.We started our journey from
Demra just at 12 noon.The boatmen began to row
the boat and it was moving swiftly.A gentle breeze was blowing and small waves
were beating against the boat.The ripples of the waves made a sweet murmuring
sound.We enjoyed the beautiful sights on both sides of the river.The green
trees and paddy fields on both side of river gave a nice view.We saw the
fishermen catching fish and young boys and girls bathing and swimming in the
river.Houses and trees
on the both sides
both of thw river was seen coming and going slowly.At about 2 p.m. our boat
touched the ghat of a village market.Some of my friends got down from the boat
and bought a large ‘Hilsha fish’.The boatmen cooked it and we had a nice
meal.At noun 4 p.m. we startedour journey again.
The evening came with all its beauty and glory.I with some
of my friends got on the roof of the boat and enjoyed the grand sight of
Nature.The crimson rays of the setting sun and the beauty of the green fields
charmed us.After seven hours’ journey we reached Ghorasal.Some of our friends
were waiting for us at the ghat.They accorded us a hearty reception.
We spent a happy time with them.After a lapse of three hours
we again got into the boat and started our return journey.The return journey
was equally pleasant.The boat was passing very gently.It was a moon-lit-night.All my friends came out
of the hood and sat on the roof.The moon’s beam flooded the whole river and
filled it with uncommon beauty.Out of joy one of my friends began singing a
sweet song.I thought I was in a dreamland where only joy and beauty reign.The
boatmen also began to sing
“Row,row,row the boat,gently down the
stream,
Merrily,merrily,merrily, life is but a dream.’’
When the night advanced,we entered inside the hood and lay
down and fell asleep.The next morning when we woke up it was just daylight.Our
boat reached Demra and we got down from the boat.Thus our journey came to an
end.
