I started the day with the name of the creator, so I went to the mosque to pray the Fajr after hearing the adhan. After praying with a refreshed mind, I walked home. After having light breakfast in the morning I went to Mirzapur railway station with my cousin. Because I had planned to go to his office today, I chose the railway vehicle. Dhaka Mirzapur railway station in winter fog. All around is quiet as if nature is still sleeping. I slowly stepped onto the platform. The white-blue color of the station is blurred in the blanket of fog. The sun was fully up. An orange glow is spreading over the sky. I suddenly heard a train whistle from a distance. Kamalapur bound train is coming. I stood up and got ready. The sun is gradually increasing its light.

In the meantime, I bought the ticket which was a local train ticket. The name of this train was Sirajganj Express and our compartment number was C and my seat number was 50. The destination of the ticket was Mirzapur to Dhaka which is 71 km. The ticket clearly says 26 February 2025. The ticket price is BDT 70 taka (local) which is equivalent to 4.66 Steem approx.

As soon as the Kamalapur bound local train stopped at the station, I quickly got up. Some people were already sitting around, some were sleeping, some were looking out of the window and some were busy scrolling on their mobiles. As I went to my seat, the train started moving slowly.

My cousin was sitting next to me. We both started laughing as the train jolted. Suddenly I thought let's take a selfie. I took out the mobile phone and opened the camera.

The local train sped up slowly and I settled into the window seat. The cold wind of the winter morning came through the window and felt a strange calmness spread in the mind. Basically I love train journey but due to time this train is not operated so came today.

The scenes outside were changing one after another. Misty green fields, rows of trees along the road, small huts could be seen in the distance and a few children running in the playground. As the train passed over a small river, I looked down and saw the sunlight glistening on the water. It seemed that the river was swaying along with the speed of the train. My cousin took a picture while I was looking out the window.

After a journey of about two and a half hours, I reached Kamalapur railway station. So before going to the station and getting off the train, I thought let's inspect the inside of the train a bit. I gazed at the inner atmosphere for a moment. The entire room was completely silent. Nothing could be heard except the whistle of the train and the noise outside.

Everyone got down and I was the only one left in my seat. I stood aside and saw all the little things left behind, a dirty tissue, a book lying on one side and a water bottle somewhere. After some time when the doors of the train closed I enjoyed the silence inside.

After that I went to the head office of Sunflower Life Insurance Company with my brother. The big office building stood in the middle of the city center with huge glass buildings and the receptionists were very busy. Brother had some urgent work so I accompanied him.

I sat in the waiting room. There were only a few people sitting around not talking much to each other. Some people were talking on phones and some people were working on laptops. The cold of the light air conditioner and the deserted city outside the window. Time was passing but I was enjoying the silence.

After praying in the office, I went downstairs and had some lunch. Then I was walking in front of the huge buildings of Motijheel and the grandeur around me was mesmerizing. Along with all the big businesses around, there were some strange scenes on the side of the road.

Ahead I saw some fruit sellers setting up their small stalls. Different types of fresh fruits pineapple, banana, bell, strawberry were all in their stack. People were standing, some were peeling pineapples, some were buying fruits. I took a step forward and took out my phone and took a picture of the beautiful scene.

I enjoyed the calm environment of Motijheel for a while. Then we headed towards the railway station by taking a rickshaw. The rickshaw puller told us our destination and started pedaling. The rickshaw was moving slowly through the busy streets of the city and I was watching. Among the huge buildings around, small shops, pedestrians and traffic jams, everything seemed to be in harmony. As the rickshaw moved, the hot air and the dust of the road mixed together creating a strange feeling.

Night fell on the way back home. The whole road was lit up by the lights of the city and I was moving towards home. The quietness of the night gave me peace after a hectic day. When I reached home, I went straight to the bathroom. After praying, I got refreshed and regained some life. The body was still tired but the mind was at peace. After that I had some light food and shared my new post on Steemit. After some time I switched off the mobile phone and went to sleep. The silence of the night lulled me into a deep sleep. All the noise of the city drifted away and I slept contentedly in peace. This is how I passed today.
