The Diary Game | A wonderful day of my village | 15 June, 2025

Today, I woke up very early to the sound of rain. Today is the first day of the month of Asher, third month of the Bangla year.Today, it started raining. Asher and Shrawan are the two months of the rainy season in Bangladesh. It rains a lot during the rainy season. However, since I woke up, I got up and made my bed.

The weather outside today was very dark and the sky was covered with dark clouds. I was watching nature through the window for a while.
Then I checked the Steemit notification. After checking, I got up from the bed and went to brush my teeth. While brushing my teeth, I saw through the balcony window that many flowers were blooming on a flower tree of mine. These flowers bloom in the morning but fall off in the afternoon.

A little further away, ducks were playing in the rain. The joy of ducks increases during the rainy season. They can play in the water for a long time. I go out in the morning and come back in the evening. During the rainy season, ducks get a lot of food in the field, because the field is full of water. As a result, the ducks can eat more and lay more eggs.

Then I sat down to eat with chickpeas soaked overnight. I soaked the chickpeas in water overnight. Eating chickpeas in the morning is very beneficial for health. In between, I completed a task on Twitter. I prefer using Twitter to Facebook. Because a lot of rumors spread on Facebook. Twitter is not very active. However, they can be understood through fact checking. Anyway, I finished my meal.

Then I drank water and sat down to read. Today's reading topic is Bangladesh Subjects Ancient Era.

Today I will read about the ancient history of Bangladesh Subjects. From here I learned about the origin of the Bengali nation. Greeks, French, English, Mughals and many other foreign rulers have ruled our Bengal over the ages. I know from here The entire Bengali nation can be divided into two main groups, firstly, the non-Aryan people and the Aryan people. The non-Aryan people include the Austrics, Negritos, and Dravidians.

I like reading ancient history, from which I can know who has lived in our region for ages. Then I think that after many ages or centuries, some generation will also read our history. History flows from generation to generation like a river with its time. Although our Bengal is not a state like Greece, there were about 16 towns in it, the main ones being Banga, Pundra, Gaur, Samatata, Harikela, Barendra, Saptagram, Bikrampur, etc.

Various travelers or tourists used to visit our Bengal, the main ones being Megasthenes, who was the geographer of ancient Greece. Fa-Hien, Hiuen Tsang were Chinese tourists. Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan tourist, came to Bangladesh in 1346. We basically know more about the history of our Bangladesh from historical books written by the Greeks.

Our political history in Bengal is also very ancient. The Maurya dynasty, the Gupta dynasty, the Pala dynasty and the Sena dynasty have ruled here. Among them, the Pala dynasty reigned for about 400 years, which is the longest reign of any dynasty in Bengal. While reading about the Pala dynasty, I checked my phone notifications.

One time during my study, my mother brought jackfruit. The jackfruit from our tree is very sweet. I like eating jackfruit, so I eat jackfruit almost every day. It was noon while eating jackfruit, so I left my study and got up to take a bath. I went to take a bath around 1:30.

After taking a bath, I sat down with my laptop. But I saw that the laptop screen was not opening and I was wondering if I could solve it myself.

When the laptop light came back on after a long time, I changed one of its settings.

I am going to share with you how I solve this problem.

Now I hope that there will never be a delay in opening the laptop again, if this option is on, many times even if the laptop is turned off, it is still active inside, so the laptop is delayed in opening many times, so I turned off the option. After that I closed the laptop and opened it again and saw that the laptop opened much faster than before. If your laptop has any such problem, you can follow my method.

Then I had lunch. After lunch, I went under the palm tree on the bank of our pond for air. Suddenly the weather got very hot, the wind came from the pond. When I went there, I saw dates lying under the tree.

I picked some dates, although the dates in our country are not very sweet, they are sour, but we put them in salt and keep them. When they turn a little black, they are good to eat.

Then I came back to my room and was sitting to study, but at one time the electricity went out. Meanwhile, it was getting late in the afternoon and the electricity did not come, so I thought I would take a walk outside. I sat outside for a while but it was not feeling good, so I thought I would take a visit around the city.Our Netrokona town is only 2 kilometers away from our village, so you can go there anytime, you can walk too. But because of the heat of the weather, I took a rickshaw.

When I came by rickshaw, I thought I would go to Dulabhai's shop, but when I arrived, I saw that the shop was closed. So I thought I would turn around from the station. The closest of the two railway stations in our Netrokona is called Boro Station, and then there is another station just 500 meters away, which we call Court Station.

When I arrived at the station, I saw a train bound for Dhaka standing, very crowded, it was difficult to board the train in such a crowd. Many people were climbing on the roof of the train, some could not board the train even after buying the train ticket because of the crowd, while some were sitting on the train seat without buying the train ticket. Now there is no time to go there and check the ticket because the train only stops at the station for a while.

Many people could not board the train even after buying the ticket, there is no space in the train, everyone is returning to work after Eid, so it is crowded. Although it is forbidden on the roof of the train in our country, passengers are forced to climb onto the roof due to the lack of seats inside. I am not in the habit of sitting at the station. I never sit and chat at the station except when waiting for the train. So I did not sit today either, my uncle's shop was closed, so I thought, a friend of ours lives in the village directly south of the station, I like that village a lot, so I thought I would visit that village. It only takes 20-25 minutes to walk.

I called my friend several times over mobile phone but he did not response, I think he has gone to play somewhere, so I will have to go and visit him alone. Anyway, I know the road to their village, so there will be no problem. Their village is just one village away from our village.

On the way from the station to their village, we have to cross a river, I saw that the river was filled with kachuripana, some boys were cleaning kachuripana and gathering it in one place.

A bamboo bridge connects one side of the river to the other. This is not the first time I have seen a bamboo bridge. My grandfather's house also had a bamboo bridge once. But now it is no more, instead of the bamboo bridge, a concrete bridge stands there. The country is modernizing, concrete is taking over everything. This is good for improving the communication system.

I have reached my friend's village. There were once large paddy fields and open fields here, but now there are new one-story, two-story, three-story houses standing on many lands.
When I was in college, I used to come to this village almost once a week to wander around. In the afternoon, the cool breeze here draws me back to this village again and again.

I am walking alone, I have a habit of walking alone. I noticed that many things have changed in the village. There are new houses, the roads are much more beautiful than before, new electricity lines have been laid, high voltage, a road is being built between our village and this village, the bypass road is being widened.

Walking alone is fun, you can think about many things on your own, make many observations, think and talk about your own thoughts, if someone was with me, maybe I wouldn't be able to talk to myself. I have several friends in this village, I met only one who was going to play towards the city, he asked me and I also asked him if it was good or bad and then he left.

I started walking on my own again. It is almost evening and it might be night by the time I get home. This village is familiar to me, but I won't have any problems even if it is night. Most of the houses here are built along the roadside. I feel quite good that the village is developing. I saw a new house, about three stories high, such a big house is rarely seen in the village. There are many other trees along the road, including mango trees, jam trees, jackfruit trees. Each tree has borne fruit. I wandered around a lot here. Now I got on the road of my village and started going towards our village.

I am very familiar with these roads, I walked a lot on these roads around 2016-17, but after joining the university, I missed my village a lot because I used to come home 1-2 times a year and even when I came home, I didn't get a chance to visit the village. Now that my graduation is over, I can visit a lot if I want.

Anyway, this is a bridge on our bypass. There is a river in between our village and my friend's village, whose village I just visited. This bridge connects the two villages.

I am walking along the bypass road, the road is not yet paved. The bypass road behind our house is paved but the road on this side is not yet paved. But the work is going on.

Finally, I returned to our house. I walked a lot today.

After returning home, I took some rest and started writing the post. I am very happy to share these activities of my day with you.
