🏞️🏞️♥️💐The Call of the River: A Story of a Journey from Sadarghat to the Other Side🐟🐬🏞️♥️
The beauty of the river brings different feelings to many people, some like to spend time, while others like to walk on its banks. Sadarghat is one of the spots for river travel in Bangladesh. Getting on a boat from here to your destination is like the beginning of a different experience. Our story today is about one such journey, where I captured a part of the river's chest through my camera.
- The Beauty of Sadarghat
Sadarghat has become the heart of Dhaka for river transport and business. There are countless boats, launches and steamers plying here. If you stand on its banks and see the reflection of the morning sunlight, you will understand that the water of this river and its aesthetics are a great feeling.
- Boat travel experience
After getting on the boat, I felt a different fascination with the people scattered in the surrounding environment and their destination. The cold waves of the boat shake you a little; But the light breeze rising from that canal creates a play of emotions in the veins. While the boat is moving, I try to talk to the water of the river.
- Life and environment of the river
The life of the people on the banks of the river is like a blurred picture from beginning to end. The local people here live their lives centered on the river, day and night. Fishing, water sports and shopping in the riverside markets—all together, the picture of life here is completely different.
- In search of the other side
As the boat moves from Sadarghat to the other side, the surrounding scenery seems to be transformed. Approaching the river, sitting there gives a different taste of peace. The water of the river calls you. When the boat reaches the other side, a new feeling comes.
- Sound and music of the river
There is no river trip where the sound of the river, the crashing of the waves, is not felt. Feeling a little of that eternal music, this river experience deepens.
- Memories and videos
I recorded some videos on this journey. I tried to capture the beautiful view of the river, the open sky of the waterway and the experience of the journey through videos. The videos say a lot; they show the image of the river, the smiles of the people and the dynamism of that scene.
- People and the river
Rivers connect people. Wherever you go, the river is by your side. I felt this while crossing from Sadarghat. The river is not just water, it creates bonds.
- Local food and culture
During a river trip, you can get acquainted with local food. After reaching the other side, you get the opportunity to eat local food, such as luchi and alu dum. All these foods are part of our culture.
- Challenges of the river and the environment
But there are also many challenges to this beauty and life of the river. Environmental pollution and loss of navigability of the river are a known problem today. Talking to the locals, I understood how they are dealing with this problem.
- Lessons of boating
Such a trip teaches us how beautiful life is and the river is a promise of our unique beauty. This experience reminds us that rivers are not just water; they are part of our lives.
This journey from Sadarghat to the other side was not just a journey, it was a deep connection with the river. I hope everyone can savor this experience by traveling on the river at least once. The river brings us love, joy and a new lesson.
